I noticed that there's no "lounge" or "off-topic" section in these forums. Don't crucify me please!

XNA is a Microsoft initiative, right? So is the MSDN, and TechNet, right? Whose heard of the Codemasons' Guild?

Codemasons' Guild - Microsoft Windows Mobile Developers - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-au/developer/default.mspx

Just thought i'd point out, their dedicated official MS site appears to be much. . . um. . . cooler, than ours here at XNACCO. Who designed the XNA site? A regular poster or mod here? or an external third party? I'm not trying to be offensive, just trying to start an interesting discussion.

That is correct and quite intentional. If you want to chat about random topics unrelated to XNA or game development, there are plenty of other websites that can accommodate those discussions.

*shrug* Personal preference, I guess. I don't see why their site is any cooler than this one. In fact, they're still on the MSDN forums which I think look horrible.

I would assume Microsoft, though it's possible they outsourced the design. It certainly wasn't a regular poster or moderator.

Wow. Prompt reply. Fair enough. lol, your tile-engine tutorials were pretty awesome, btw.

I guess *topic closed* is in order
