Last week I recieved my latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine (June 2002) , but I never got around to reading it until last night while peeping out da playoffs when A.I. was droppin dimes on da Celtics!:cool:

Anyways, I read the mag page for page ( well, just about :D ) when I got to the end of the magazine and low and behold the were plugging da hell outta TXB!:eek:
I dont have no problems with those cats since they are supporter of the best d@mn console as we are here in da XBA's.

But it kinda bothered me I have to admit. OXM even went on the record to claiming TXB not only has the best website......but the "best Xbox forum on the net"!
In all respects to TXB, they may have 10's of thousands more members than we do,but does that make them better?
Hell naw!:rolleyes:

I actually visited them a couple times and saw nothing out of the ordinary topics in their forums! Their homepage is very attrative and set of nicely with cool graphics, but come on.
Give XBA some props too OXM! Yeah, XBA made their page a couple issues ago, but be fair.

I know by reading my issue late this topic "may" have been brought up, but I have not came across anything.

For the record, im not jealous of them. I actually will congrates them, but I just want our hard working staff to get their shine too.
Ya feel me?:)

Ninja, we need more participants like you on this site... Spread the word and preach straight from your XBox bible!

I think what the mag was talkin' about with regard to their forums is that they have OFFICIAL game forums where the game developers actually come in and talk with 'us' commoners about their assorted projects.

Would any of you be interested in something like that here? Or is there really any reason for us to improve on the BEST DAMN FORUMS PERIOD? Remember, XBA is the place to be!

-The more members we recrute here, the better the stuff we can do for the users!!! Also remember if there is some news that y'all think is worth a look *Ahem* DZ NUTZ *Ahem* email it to a news editor here, and you'll get credit on the front page for the contribution! Please nothing too out there tho! Anyways, take care and enjoy yourselves! (I'm going back to sleep =) )

yeah dude i know what ya mean. . .i got that issue too it's like this website is the neglected step child of the Xbox
best forums at TXB though???. . . . . i dunno about that one

besides the only reason that OXM plugs them is cauz they teamed up and TXB has a list of all the people who are sending i pictures for the Elite points. . . . IMO most of the challenges suck and really dont make u elite at gaming i mean beating halo on legendaty is but stackin 15 master chifs or filling a base with vechils. . .com'n!?!?!? thats just stupid

Durden-XBA, thanks for the props bro, but we have several other... how should I say.... leaders by example?

As far as implementing more forums, ect, ect. I say the more the marrier! Really, I think the XBA-Staff could have conference call or something and figure out says to improve not only the forum but the site as a whole.
Re-freshing the homepage could be a start?
Anyone else with idea?

I was one of the first to get the Mag and then I read and posted on this very topic,,,,,,Then that night the whole thing just dissappeared, So I searched and not even my posts on the thread I made was there. I asked Mec and he didnt know so ,,,,,,I like that you have reposted this,,,,,,,but watch out the hobgoblins may come for your thread as well. I think that OXM said something nice about XBA in a issue awhile back? But I dont like the "Best site on the net junk either" They have more peps thats all. I like the quick responses here. And the people are nice ,,,,well most of them. There is that one guy w/all the band aids on him,,,the one trying to play like he's a ninja, he's always cutting into somebodys post with his not so funny humor sword. Or his I am incapable of logic ninja stars. Well other than him and atleast two others this site rocks.

I've brought this topic up in a different way and it magically disappeared.

As far as forums go, these are the best.

hey guys..i remeber this topic/thread awhile back
personally..i'm not to worried aobut it...they oviously (oxm) struck a deal with TXB and they need to plug it since oxm readers can now check out their gaming points for pulling off those challenges.

we all know who has the best forums and thats all that matters...
btw..durden..thanx for the compliment...i've never really thought about emailing the mods of this site all the new news i find and post...maybe i will someday...but its more important for me to get my fellow xba comrades the breaking news then to get credit on the homepage.
rock on XBA...rock on

I dont understand why you and dznutz say you both posted simular topics like this but hery fell off da forum pages!:confused:

Maybe the topic needed da infamous XBA role model, hero, & Icon-Ninja Jubei's seal of approval as thread maker!:D
Duno, but how do you all feel about the lack of OXM recognizing our hard working XBA-staff members?

we should email oxm and make them reconize oxm!!! i think txb has like 21,000 members and we have over 7,000...so do u think we are the second biggest xbox site in terms of members??

I know that the original thread of this nature appeared a while back, but it was removed. As you can see, the original topic starts to slope towards a "XBA is better than TXB" thread.

OXM printed what they did, and what they printed is their personal opinion, similar to their reviews (They gave Kabuki Warriors a pretty high score, considering the game in question :D ).

You all have your opinions on which is better, and that is fine, but don’t start pointing fingers based on misinterpretation. We are all here to support the XBox, so any site doing so is good in my opinion.

I am done with the lecture now :)

I post in a blue moon down at txb i haven’t been there since I read this post and was reminded. And let me say I don’t know what the problem is with their site but it’s damn slow, I mean, almost 10 seconds between clicks, I couldn’t tolerate it.

i hear ya ninja...i used to visit txb before i came to xba...but then alot of immature people started posting pointless topics, and every once in awhile, you'd get a smart remark from one of the people there....no offense to txb...they have great reviews and all the top news, but i truly think our forum is 100x better than theirs...i just don't feel the love like i do when i browse these forums:D

XBA has by far the best website...reviews, previews, user reviews, hype-o-meter thing, the latest news, etc.

DZNUTZ
05-02-2002, 11:12 PM
i for one agree.w/MEC.dont' get worked up over the oxm thing..we all love xbox..so ITS ALL GOOD (and of course...xba has the best forums ,hands down)

I second that motion DZNUTZ, because its true, we dont need to get all fire hot about what OXM said, because well all know that we have the the most fun here at XBA, with these great members, great giveaways, cool mods and the best dam forums around:cool:


Untill next time...:mad:

Yeah, that's what im trying to say Jade8704, im not knocking TXB. I dont know what little meccy is refering too, cause this thread does not consist of dissing TXB in any shape or form like the otehr deleted thread he maybe refering too.
All of us are in the same boat together.
I was only upset cause OXM had da grape fruit to claim TXB was not only the best overall Xbox site on the net, BUT HAD THE BEST FORUM ON THE PLANET (or the universe, or was it world?) Either way it bothered me.
But as long as we know the true that's all that matters.:)
