"hands tied" as quoted from a mod. ????
seems like all thats updated is the ads on the front page. probably because they are still paying. xs fell off, a while ago and probably theres a contract in place for those ads to keep running. such a shame.

back in the xbox 1 days this site was a real good place to come for xbox mods, tutorials and chat.
when the 360 was in development there was tons of topics and discussions on the new hardware and games.
i havent even seen a single post about the new xbox 720 (durango) hardware even though the specs were released weeks ago.
and the front page hasnt been updated in yonks.

We're still around taking care of reported posts, spam, and account suspensions behind the scenes, but that's pretty much all we can do at the moment. We were working towards some changes late last year, but people disappeared and that plan seems to have taken a dump as well.
People can still post news... just not on the main page.

This is the closest I've seen to a full explanation on the topic. But, I think someone can go much further with it.
Perhaps it is time that someone with the full knowledge of the situation share all of the details (and name names) with what's left of this community. Those of us who have held out hope for a recovery I'm sure would appreciate it. Besides, what's to lose at this point?

I wouldn't say that anyone at this point could go much further with an explanation. As Alex548 said, some people are AWOL and a couple of them have the keys to the castle. Without them, there isn't much more anyone can do atm.
In other words, those who own this site have abandoned it. Am I right? If the owner of a site has abandoned it, then that gives the perception that it is not worth saving.
Perhaps the "keyholders" should be identified...

I am not sure why you keep pushing this matter. An answer has been given.
- The site owner has not been heard from in quite some time.
Who the site owner is, is irrelevant. But if you really need to know run a whois query on this domain.....wow that accomplished a lot.
Why has he been AWOL? Who knows. Injury, illness, incarceration, apathy...... does it matter?
If this site no longer meets your standards, find one that does. If you still see value here, then use it. Stop beating a dead horse. I can assure you that no matter how frustrated you are, the remaining staff here are even more so.

and where does identifying the keyholders get you? it gives you a target to blame, but thats about it. knowing who has the ability to make changes doesn't actually get things changed or put you in contact with the right people.
we all want to see the site turned around and restored to a fully functional state, and those of us who are still left are doing everything we can to try to find someone who has the access rights to make that happen.

Let's hope it doesn't get taken over by QuickJump. WiiNewz did that (if I recall correctly none of the forum posts were transferred to the new site), instantly turned to shit and now the domain's gone.
I highly doubt anything like that will happen.
If you see some news thats worth posting, post it just make sure you give credit where credit is due. The news is not what makes this site great it is the user base so if you see something worth talking about start a topic up and talk about. The same goes for in the Ps3 section and all other sections here. Just please do not bring any of the drama that happens on certain PS3 Hack related site.

I still visit the forums at least once a day, so I'm not going. Rather than whine about the entire thing why don't you post some news like garyopa has done on the forums. This is one of the communities I really enjoy online I've met lots of interesting people here and I do enjoy visiting the forums after work and chilling out, reading interesting discussions. It's not all about the news page, in fact I've noticed some users here didn't even know about the main site after they posted a while until people linked them to the tutorials.

Traffic and members will return, once the news gets flowing nice again, and that will happen as slowly old-timers are uniting behind the scenes to bring XS back to its former old glory.

You are so right. -- BTW, it is a Phoenix. -- With that I have now updated my SIG to fit the moment. -- Which if you click on for now (COUGH) it will show you the latest 360 News), but that will change in a few days, as all the news you can imagine will be found right here on first XS, as my contacts in the 'scene' is so big you can't even pick up my black book, my favorite site has always been XS, and been lurking here for almost 10 years now, so stick around and watch the action and grab some

"back in the day" being the key words in that sentence. Back in the day, people like Xeero, opjose, and BenJeremy made this place a treasure trove of useful information. They came here to (gasp!) help and educate people. Unfortunately, we now have people like Chancer, chorizo1, and hamwbone who come here to power-trip and flex their e-muscles.
Here's hoping a reborn XS features mods similar to those we were lucky enough to have back in the day. The return of the angry, drunken dwarf is an encouraging start...

Why do you feel the need to come in here and talk crap when you know nothing about me and the others and provide no proof? The information is still here and people are still helping each other.

I am sorry, I thought the plan was to run it on actual Xbox hardware, I am all setup just waiting for the rubber-dock-modem for the phone, so when the line rings I will run over and plug the phone into the holder and you can login, and I even got one of those new what do they call them 'toll-free' numbers so area code will not matter!

i was going to offer my help in updating the front page as this (x-scene) has always been my number one to check for news.
so i came here and checked where i could offer my help and stumbled upon this thread.
great, guys!!! relaunch sounds really good!
and i assume you are all set up, so there's probably no need (anymore) for stepping up and updating the main page.
can't wait!
anyway, my offer still stands. i could check/update news at least one or two times a day.
i am a long time member although i do not have that many posts. i'm always reading and stop by every day more than once. i have a good overall knowledge regarding the xbox (old and new).
for the sake of my "real" life, i wouldn't be disappointed, if i'm not the right guy.
but i would be really sad to see this site stagnate any longer. (meaning the front page. i know forums are ok.)
so, if i could be of any help, tell me.
cheers,
