You may notice that your blog has no information since 10/25. This is because the server for the site experienced connection loss with, well, nearly everything related to the Microsoft Data Feed. In the process, other server related issues were discovered resulting in the only functioning part of the site being these forums.
The current owners of the site, CrispyGamer (whom bought GamerDNA), are, thanks to an entirely community driven outpouring of emails, taking steps to repair the site. Exactly what the steps are, or how long they will take is unknown. Despite the canned response to your emails, your voices were heard and we have a response.
In the future, someone far more official then I will make an announcement regarding the work being done on the backend of the site. Until then, your continued patience is greatly appreciated. I can only speak for myself, but as someone that has done a lot for the last few years to keep this site going, I appreciate all that you, yes you reading this post, have done in the last few days. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

I sent CG a message earlier this week. The reply I received was promising. Basically states what DoT started this thread with.

Thank you for contacting 360voice and gamerDNA.
The 360voice system recently underwent some hardware upgrades after a server failure which caused the initial downtime in September. Subsequently, Microsoft updated certain specifications for how game play feeds are accessed, in addition to other changes including Streak Saver. We are working to update and repair all feeds and game data as quickly as possible. We appreciate your enthusiasm and passion, as well as your patience. |

| Good to hear, had I known it was OK to contact CG I would have done so but I always feared that if we raised too much of a stink they would decide to shut the site down or lock out the guys who are currently working to try to keep it running. |

I think that all depends on how the messages go when they are contacted.
Mine was something along the lines of, "You have a really nice community at 360 Voice, it would be a shame to let it go away and loose all the revenue it generates for you."
Remind them of the money they will be missing and they might be motivated to work on things. |

| I was pretty surprised and very glad to have gotten a response from CGs today. I figured nothing would come of it, but I'm glad we made enough noise to get their attention. I really like this site. |

My email to CG:
360voice.com is down again. I was wondering if there is anything
that can be done to help save the site. This is the second time the site
has been down for more then a week. Word is that 360voice may die. The
site has countless everyday visitors so it is not only a few people who will
miss it. I hope something can or will be done.
Thanks.
