TXB is gone

[ArcticXbox]

Just to let everyone know, TeamXbox (.com) has shutdown because of financial situations. Currently they are closed indefinatly, but there is a possibility that they MIGHT return.

[sinizuh]

D:

and they had all the late breaking news! poor TBX.

[Milkman Dan]

Here's what you see when you try to get there now.


We regret to inform our faithfull viewers that TXB is down at the current time due to an inability to continue to afford our monthly costs. The site is growing faster than the internet economy and we are simply not bringing in enough revenue to make up for the huge growth the site has got. Our site has tripled in traffic over the past 2 months and the increase in bandwidth is more then we can make up for. Since we have started, we have funded this site out of our own money, and we have no more to put in toward the site.

Just tell me where to send a donation.:(

[Raven187]

I was on that site sence the beginning and now it is gone and that sucks

[terrapin]

This sucks! I was just on their site a couple of hours ago. :confused:

[JimPick]

I am also a TeamXbox refugee. Microsoft should help out with web hosting for sites like TXB and Xboxaddict.

If TBX goes down and all their fans flood this site... then what? No fan site has an unlimited budget for bandwidth. The popularity of the Xbox could cripple fan sites.

ACK!!

~JimPick

[ArcticXbox]

Ok, The TeamXbox staff is suggesting that you email Microsoft at:

feedback@xbox.com

and tell them that you love the Xbox and Xbox.com and that TeamXbox is gone and that MS should help them etc.

[Ryoohki]

I'am a refugee... too.. I'am really sad... Loved the gang on this site.. :(

I Hope they come back sometime soon... i would love to see Novembre 15 on TXB...

[Milkman Dan]

Oh well. Hopefully they'll be back soon, Xbox Addict isnt' bad from the little I've seen so far. Thanks for hosting us displaced message board addicts ;)

PS>Jeremy spells his name funny.

[FordTang]

I can't believe it's gone.

I really hope they get back on their feet. And I really hope that MS will take them under their wing and give them support. With MS behind them we won't have to worry of these things happening.

[Knight]

TXB is dead, Long live the new King Xboxaddict!!

[terrapin]

I just sent my email out. Suggesting that Microsoft needs to use some of that $500 million war chest to bail sites like teamxbox and help out sites like xboxaddict.

[FordTang]

The first thing when I got the message on the website was go to Xbox.com and write to them asking them to help TeamXbox. I really hope they listen.

Remember people, just rally behind TeamXbox and MS will have to listen.

So the email is feedback@xbox.com

And don't forget to put down http://www.teamxbox.com and shockwaves email. His email is shockwave@teamxbox.com

Please help TeamXbox, they need it the most now.

[HALOJAY]

The TXB forums were the best so far this forum is the only one that comes close to TXB. Lets just hope that X-addict is as good with the news.

[rivalius13]

i am alsoa refugee from txb i had 2085 posts there. i was on the site just a few hours ago.
by the way i was stone cold at it

[ShannonX]

I came from teamxbox also. I have visited here several times but never visisted the forums. Kinda sucks though since I was visiting that site since last year. I went by the same name there as here.

[Milkman Dan]

We'll all get through this, the wheels are turning as I speak. I feel better now that I've got my avatar back.

#%&#%&#%&#%&, I am one pretty milkman.

[Kamshaft]

That is one cool Avatar.

[Milkman Dan]

10q! You know I read a Steven King story about a guy who had little eyeballs growing out of his hand. I still have nightmares about that.

[Milkman Dan]

Here's another Avatar I use. It's Wally from Redmeat.com. He's eating Pikachu. He eats one for every day until the Xbox comes out. 27 right now.

[SpaNdeX]

yeah i was also a TXB member since Oct. 2000 and i visited that site like every day.....I think it sux that they went down.

[Xmun]

I've never heard of TXB?
Were they any good? :p


On a more serious note folks does anyone have any contact info for the staff at TXB?

I want to get in touch with 'em to see if I can help out.

[izzydroolin]

I just hope to see the txb forums back up soon as well. Its good to see ya here Jerams. I wonder how I could bring supergirl over as well?

[kristof]

#%&#%&#%&#%& i hope it gets back on-line :(

[izzydroolin]

Has anyone heard from the mod's or any other forum members at all?

[izzydroolin]

hello?

[kristof]

yes their still on IRC #teamxbox



server : IRC.webmaster.com

[SpaNdeX]

Xmun....Shockwave is in the TXB chat room on IRC the channel is on:

Webnet
and the room is
#teamxbox

[Xmun]

They have been posting quite a bit over at the IGN boards.

I really feel like a goof for not keeping in touch with some of the fine folk over at TXB outside of the board itself.

It's like suddenly losing hundreds of freinds in a single day.
Well at least there are a few of us here.

Cool.
Thanks I'll go check it out.

[nate735]

I feel so bad that Teamxbox is closing. I just wish they gave us more notice that teamxbox.com is going down. I also think they have done an unbelievable job of running that site. I also think its crazy that they have been running the site out of their own pockets. only TRUE Xbox fans will do that I've been a member of the site for over a year. I will try to do everything I could to get the site running agin. This is the worst Friday in the world. *cries*

Best Regards,
nate735

[tony86]

[izzydroolin]

[Iceman-TXB]

The support is great guys, thank you. Please do not flood Microsoft's email, that might just make them mad. Anyways, what mathers is that we will be back next week, thanks to the great people at Ebgames.com!

Thanks again,
Danny Borges
Senior Editor, TeamXbox.com

(in case you didnt notice the ;)'s i was joking)

[Badlittlemonkey]

hey iceman how much does it cost to run a site like txb a month?

[Iceman-TXB]

A lot. Just think of it this way, there is about 3-4 people that chip in monthly for the website, bart, shock+serenity and sol and they are having a hard time keeping up with the montly bills. Bills keep jacking up due to the fact that people just can't get enough of TXB, which means we are constantly upgrading servers ($$$).

[Kepper]

Getting a little high on ourselves are we?

[tony86]

Ice- Either way, i'm just glad txb got everything worked out. will be good to have you back.

HALO

:D

I was wondering where the uncanny Xmun had gotten himself off too.

[izzydroolin]

Holy poop on a pogo stick!!!!!!
TXB is comeing back?!?!http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/cwm/cwm/eek5.gif
This is definately cause for celebration.!!!!

Jerams, Grab a beer !http://beaty625.com/rblicons/cheers.gif

[izzydroolin]

HUH?

[23jordan]

I would make a donation but I am not doing through PayPal.com! Someone on their opened an account in my name and stole a crapload of money! Luckily I got it back and they have a lock on my name. Anyone know of another way I could help?

[Milkman Dan]

Email SOL. I'm sure they'll have a way for you to help out.

Speaking of him... WHERE IS HE?

[chelios]

Can some of you guys from the TXB boards answer a little fever question for me? There is not a lot of info on these boards.


Are the Texans in Fever franchise mode?


Thanks in advance for any info. I miss the information you could quickly get in the TXB boards.

[chelios]

Thanks Jeremy. That's too bad about the Texans. I was hoping to have them in franchise mode.


Thanks for letting everyone from TXB hang out here.

[todd0713]

i'm estatic to hear TXB is coming back.

[Iceman-TXB]

We are aiming to try and be back within the next few days.

[HeadShot]

VERY COOL...:cool: Thanks Iceman for the 411

[Melt]

I'm another TXB refugee. It's nice to hear some familiar voices...makes me smile. TXB did a great job of sustaining my Xbox enthusiasm, my positive feelings about the Xbox, the launch, its future, the community building around it...and I didn't like the idea of heading into the launch "alone," so to speak. It's great that the site will be back up. I think everyone ought to donate something, whatever they can spare, even if it's just five or ten bucks. We certainly owe it to them, for all the community and fun they've made possible.

This Forum is pretty darn good to, hello all you Administrators and Mods nice place. I take hold of Xbox spreading here in Africa.

Geeze man! Didn't know you changed your name :D

[jrmacumber]

Izzy, did your avatar on TXB show those green panties? I don't remember those last time, and believe me, I looked :eek:

[Xmun]

I need to get my post count up here.
This board needs some "Cliff"
Big time! :D

[Tenacious D]

Hello fellow forum members it does suck that teamxbox had to shut down for a while but it is nice to come to a forum that doesnt have a million trolls posting around the clock. I think I am going to become a regular here.
