Some of you were asking if I had abandoned this. I haven't. I just haven't had a lot of free time lately. Although I have done a little bit more.
- Media (images and YouTube videos) and hyperlinks placed in the share box when making a post fit nicely into the old style forums, as you can see in the screenshot (yes, you can click images and make them bigger too).
- Paging is there, but kind of wonky. It's not possible to make it work like before.
- What I liked to call "friendly URLs" are now everywhere. So you get links like /forums/topic/778348/2/this-is-the-topic-title, and /account/68974/dazarobbo
- A little details box inside the topic which gives you some extra info that regular bungie.net does not. I had to fill this space with something, so I think it suits it (especially if I made it float down the page while you scroll...)
- OP's post always shows up at the top of the page, regardless of which page you're on
- All of the old forum icons (ie. gold septagon) are back, including showing no icon after half an hour of inactivity
- Auto cut-off of earlier breadcrumbed tags to prevent Bungie's servers from imploding
- And possibly the biggest feature(?) is that all queries are sorted by latest from all time, as this is probably the best way to emulate the old site.
Comments, queries, suggestions?
I may also post the source code since I may not get a chance to complete this as quickly as I hoped. If anyone is interested in having a play, let me know.

Do you have this on something like GitHub or in private version control?

No, I'm just saving it/working on it in the Greasemonkey directory.

Also, here's an idea. When you click the down arrow on the title bar, what if it showed the items that we currently have when we click a name or avatar?

Just noticed the update. Looks GREAT! Perhaps you should include the new buttons as well? (i.e. Start Related Topic, Edit, Hide, Report, Like) Will the reply box show up instantly like the current site, or will it have to load like the old one. I actually have a web page saved of the old reply box if you want it (Though it does include my Posting Tools script).
