[OT] Team Xbox is in crisis Team Xbox is in crisis facing an internal revolt. Every other thread in their forum is someone saying they quit and how stupid this all is (similar to what happened with ILB). As long as we're patient and stay the course, ARGolonists and Yay will win!

people just seem to give up if certian things happen, sad though I thought team xbox would have stayed through on this one... But don't forget it isn't so much about winning, we all have to get there together, Like the stella challenge all of us got different pieces and we all had to come together to piece it together.

Personally, I wouldn't blame them if they did. As many times as it has deleted my accounts for no apparent reason, I'm getting frustrated with it too.

I'm pretty sure most people who joined team xbox joined them because they were very very far ahead in 1st place. Once they got knocked down most of those people probably are going to quit. It amazes me that people will quit because thier team points get knocked down, yet points haven't proven to mean anything at all yet. Hell, who knows if they are even earned or just random.

This is more than likely an attempt to weed out the serious from the weak. All the people who stay on till the end are likely to be much more dedicated to the game than the impatient dolts who are "revolting".

I'm very close to reaching the end of my tether with this game, after having had my second account deleted.
I'm going to give it one more try then after that I'm going to scream and jump up and down then when I can I'll pre order an xbox 2 then i'll get it and I'll throw it to the ground and jump up and down on it and curse and scream at it until I get tired, then I'll look down at the floor and realise I've just ruined a brand new xbox 2 because some game pissed me off, then I'll fall to the ground and sob until I sleep.

I can't see why this is such a big deal. I mean, yeah, it takes you an extra 2 minutes to check the site that one time, but so what?
I've re-registered close to 20 times (it doesn't like me for some reason), but I'm not contemplating walking away. I've not had any real problems with OC.net so far, and sure, re-registering is a pain, but you don't really lose anything if you do. It's not like you've got anything special on the site that gets deleted. You cannot really 'progress' on the game, so there's no long catch-up to do.
[/rant]
That said, the site could've been designed better, but it is getting a lot of traffic, and some technical issues are to be expected when a site is first created. Hopefully they'll get everything sorted out soon.
Edit: I just noticed that this has absolutely nothing to do with Team-Xbox and their problems, and am now wondering why it was posted in this thread. a mod could move the posts to the correct place I guess.
/me looks around for a mod

I am one of the very lucky ones to not have had to re-register. I did once, but it let me do it under the same name (Beevyd), and I suspect that I had just forgotten my password for the old account. Anyhoo, my point is, stick with it. As many great people have said, "There is an easy way to do things, and then there is the right way to do things." Our colony may be frustrating, and it may kick you off, and it may seem difficult to keep your paticence, but I have faith that the end rewards will be more than worth it. [/ramble]

I still don't know why they are complaining.... considering the massive number of people this site gets all the time, I would be worried if proplems WEREN'T hapening. More are joining every day, and the server is strugling to keep up. Maybe it was designed a little poorly (mostlikely rushed), but at least it works mostly. It is too bad they off-ed the forums though, as they contributed to unifing the colonies more. Now pople have retired to their respective sites to discuss puzzles.
