Hi everyone. Xbox Live has been up and down for many of you all day. We will be disabling the streak counters tonight… so everyone gets a free pass… So if you see an entry tomorrow saying that you didn’t play…don’t worry… it won’t hurt your streak. I will try and put a little note in there too so that it makes it clear your streak is still alive.

Update 8:40pm CT

It appears that the Xbox Live outage is also preventing us from determining if you have a Gold account or Silver account which is blocking access to joining challenges. There isn’t much we can do there… we hope the live issues are resolved ASAP. We check it real time so that people can upgrade their account and immediately join the challenge… maybe we need to rethink that for situations like this.

It appears the outage caused a variety of issues with our data capture… and as luck would have it, there was a power outage at our data center… so we are now running on diesel generators! Good times… anyhow… there is some corrupted data and we are working through cleaning it out to get things back on track… you might see some missing pictures… some missing gamerscores… some missing entries… some missing streak updates… all of which are in the process of being investigated and repaired… thanks for your patience out there…

Update 11/11/2007 7:06pm CT

Things are pretty cleaned up at this point and measures have been taken to prevent THIS version of outage from greatly disrupting us again… it seems every outage is different!
