Do the official Xbox forums correspond to public Usenet groups, or are
they an HTML-only interface? Just curious.

No, thanks. HTML forums is the dumbest idea Microsoft had since "Microsoft

HTML Interface only - no corresponding usenet groups behind it.

Basically, this means that you shouldn't expect any response from any
Microsoft employees, nor expect that they read this forum at all. Of
course, there's the strict possibility you didn't expect either of those
things in the first place.

If you want to keep conversing here, feel free to do so. I'm not going to
get rid of any newsgroup that has an active community.

Not Mike, but yes, I'm reasonably confident in saying that the person who
made that post is indeed 'official.'

Well that is fine then. Provided the groups don't get deleted I am happy.

Excellent, John. With your exception and those posts from Mike Brannigan, I
don't recall seeing "official" Microsoft posts in here for quite a while.

Well, the posting does look like it was internally made so that would limit
it to an internal employee. Ideally they should not have posted just using
the name "Microsoft" - there are guidelines we are expected to follow when
posting in public newsgroups which this poster appears to have missed.

However as John replied - as long as there is still significant traffic on
these groups they will not be removed just yet.

No big deal, at least until Halo 3. Then we'll have to worry about spoilers
again... man I hated those guys.
