B.net Maintenance (Complete)

Do we cut the red wire, or the green wire?
The guys who make our computers work tell me that they'll be yanking on some wires tonight. As a result, Bungie.net will be offline between the hours of 12:00AM and 2:00AM PT. You've been warned (but please feel free to squawk about the outage on Twitter).
Bungie.net Gets a Facelift
New look. Same great taste!
You're great at noticing things. No doubt you've already laid eyes on the new look for Bungie.net. Go ahead, browse around. You'll likely uncover some newly bedazzled content. But don't get too freaked out about all the changes. Though today does mark the transition of Halo playlist and matchmaking support, you can still access our friendly forums, hang out in your private groups, and check all your career Halo stats.
There's an app for that.

Bungie.net Goes Read-Only [Complete!]

Access...DENIED!
[Override issued]
Access... Granted!
Anything that requires, sign-in (including forums, private groups and messaging, etc.) will be offline for a few hours today while our online team performs some "scheduled maintenance." Remember that cheeseburger you stuffed under the couch cushion? Yeah, we have to clean that up.
As soon as our systems are back online and fully functioning, we'll let you know. Until then, please continue to stare blankly into your monitors.
edit: As "a few" people might have noticed in the past several hours, we're fully-functional again.
Scheduled Maintenance Tonight
We meant to do that!
The online team tells me that they'll be performing routine maintenance around midnight tonight (PDT). It's expected that Bungie.net functionality, including stats, will be marginally impacted. While we don't expect any in game mischief, if you run into some, it's likely that some unanticipated thing exploded unanticipatedly, and that we'll be furious scrambling to resolve it by the time the sun comes up.
If this is the last time we ever speak, we want you to know that we've always loved you, and that yes, it was us who left the seat up the night you fell in. We're sorry.
Bungie and Mobile Bungie Upgrades!
Spit, polish, and stats on the go.
The online team has completed some small upgrades to Bungie.net. You might have noticed our nice, new drop down menus or your shiny new selection of user created forum avatars. They also made some significant updates to the mobile Bungie.net experience, including the addition of stats and player comparisons.
Like so:
If you want to see it for yourself, just point your mobile device towards Bungie.net.
Bungie.net Gets Mobilized
Size doesn't matter.
If you've been itching to hold Bungie.net in the palm of your hand, direct your web browser to Bungie.net and watch the magic happen. While we're not deploying the full run of features for our maiden voyage into cellphone cyberspace, we do have a handful of features that aim to please. If your device doesn't play nice with the default URL, our beloved web overlord, Gossett, notes that you might have better luck with
http://www.bungie.net/mobile. Unless you clicked the link in your desktop web browser.
Bam!
Bungie.net Primed for Launch
But not yet fully armed and operational.
Yup, a small switch was flipped this afternoon in anticipation of Halo: Reach's impending launch. Yes, some stuff is not working at full capacity. No, you don't need to keep emailing Stosh.
When the big switch gets flipped, we'll let you know.
Extend your online experience.
