Bungie.net began life in 1996 as ''Bungie.com'', a community/business website covering ''Marathon'' and previous projects. Even in the beginning, classic pages such as ''"Letters to the Webmaster and Soapbox"'' existed, if in a somewhat graphically inferior manner to the later versions. A few layout and content updates ensued throughout 1997 until at the end of the year, consequent of the release of ''Myth'', Bungie.net was born, serving as a community, statistics and multiplayer metaserver. Bungie.com remained to cover the business side, while it's sibling thrived. With the release of ''Myth II'' at the close of 1998, the site was further updated and now supported the multiplayer sides of both games.

On friday, blainer 200, 9000, the Moderator Pezz had his, as well as others, accounts hacked.{{fact}} Moderators were blacklisted. Stickies and topics were deleted and blocked. The hacker(s) caused panic by Rick Rolling and posting links to Meatspin. Almost every forum was attacked. Many people thought it had something to do with the ARG [[Iris]], but no one is certain. The Flood Forum was said to have been hit hardest with over an entire page filled with blocked topics.
