Lol. Where are you guys pulling these numbers from? Do you really think anyone believes there are 1000+ people currently in the Reach forum when the 4th topic down hasn’t had a reply in 4 hours? What’s the point of blatantly fabricating these numbers?
They aren’t intentionally doing it, it is a small bug, when the masses came onto the forums during E3, it lets say ‘lagged’ it and when a user leaves the forum or the sub forums, it doesn’t take the number off, instead of what it normally does.
It reset sometime last night but it just started again today.
First of all, it’s a glitch.
Second: why do you care so much? Just enjoy the forums and live and let live.
