1. Wil the Del button work when editing posts

2. Will we only get one email notification

3. Will moderators be able to join threads together

5. Will you maintain the links since many posts reference each other

6. Will posting code to the forums be improved

Also what of the video loadtimes will they be improved?

I think the community games is a great idea. However, it doesn't seem to jive w/the XNA Game Studio 2.0 EULA section below. Please explain how the community games program works w/this EULA?

b. Programs developed for the Xbox 360 Platform

Question 1X

Forgive me but I didn't see this information anywhere in the newest batch of updates or questions:

Once out of beta, and a game passes review and goes live on LIVE, is it a free download?
If not, where is the relevant discussion on price management, developer/MS revenue  percentages and disbursement, etc?  I understand that these issue may have yet  to be tackled, but it seemed odd that in all the information released none of these issues were touched upon.

Those details have yet to be released. The service isn't out for a while so all those will probably be addressed at some point, but for now we have no idea what any of those terms will be.

Back to the Dungeon! My game will rule Underverse! muwahaha   hehe

I thought Vin Diesel already ruled it. ;) :D

SlantyOJ:

Perhaps a CodeProject type site specific to XNA?

Will I be able to take part in Microsoft's peer review system (im not an Creators Club subscriber)?

Doesn't look like it just yet.

The thing that gets me the most is that if something is larger than the thread screen width it pushes all reply buttons off the side. So if it is the first post in a thread you cannot respond to it.

Hi guys,

Apologies for not getting into this thread sooner. The community games team is pretty heads-down right now, working on all the stuff we promised you guys at GDC would be in our beta. We are working late nights on your behalf. :)

Forums improvements are part of the beta mix, and we are even testing some of them internally now, but I don't want to overpromise (and hence underdeliver) . We  also are balancing forums stuff against things like getting your XNA game out on marketplace someday, and so don't hate us if all the things you want aren't immediately there at beta launch. The beta site is (to me, selfishly) a great leap forward but it's still going to be beta, which means improvements are always part of the plan.

We will be asking for your feedback throughout, that I can promise you.

Please be patient with us - and sorry the team's been less available than normal - just a lot of work going on.

Thanks for your support,

Betsy Aoki

XNA Program Manager
