Some interesting figures there Max. I suspect that most of the 9,000 are bungie.net users who registered prior to the MS acquisition. There has been a lot of fracturing of the original Bungie fan base since then. The MS buyout itself, the selling off of Myth and to a lesser extent Oni, the Halo for Xbox first announcement (still no Halo for Mac and PC users), the staggered worldwide Xbox release (still no Halo for us Europeans and many others). Of course you know all this yourself. It'll take time to recover but no doubt Bungie will.
