It looks like there have been no Indie game forums created on forums.xbox.com since October 12th.

Have the Indie game forums been dropped permanently, or have they just fallen way off the top of someone's to-do list?

Kathleen makes the forums and I know she has been off work sick lately...  I suspect it will catch up real soon.

Hope Kathleen gets better soon.  No rush necessary on setting up the forums.

Apologies to all Creators! ZMan speaks true. I was down and out sick with something wretched. That's no excuse! Thanks to the MVPs and awesome Creators for keeping things locked down while I was a bit under the weather! You should see all the forums pop up by end of day today. Thanks so much for your understanding!

p.s. I'm totally back and healthy now - so look out!

wait so this is not an automated process, Kathleen has to fire off each one by hand? This sounds so quaint.

I believe it's because they're separate systems so can't be done automatically.

Thanks for setting up the forums.

Since *I'm* home with a cold today, I used my diminished capacity checking the new forums, manually of course ...

Looks like 4 were skipped:

   Johnny's Minefield
   Sudoku X
   Powa Volley
   Hangman

It's a fun game to find the shortest search string that will locate or show a forum does not exist.  If the title has multiple words, a segment spanning a gap often works, like "wa vo" for "Powa Volley".  My best in terms of typing speed was "aaa" for "Epiphany in Spaaace!"

Time for a nap :(

Thanks again

Heh, I had never even thought of using aaa to search for my game's forum (I was using epip). Thanks for the tip!
