Well if stosh is posting stuff about his chapter, I suppose I should post about mine. :)
MSXL pretty much has went through it's "ice age". It seems that I am addicted to starting successful online projects, and with every new one I start, MSXL gets thrown on the back burner. The problem is, with MSXL, I took care of all the content, all the time. Granted, there were a few vids that people helped out with, but almost everything was done by me. I ran the contests ( anyone remember the quiz contest?!), the content, the news, etc etc.
Eventually I hired on some dedicated staff members, and it was at this point that we were at our peak. The staff was doing their job with gathering news and moderating the forum, and I was doing mine with pumping out cool/funny stuff. But eventually, when the staff got less excited, and started slacking, then I got kinda overwhelmed.
Oh yeah, and then a little think called HaloBabies.net came along.
So currently, we are not dead in the water, but we are no where near the activity level we used to be at. There will always be people that post occasionally, but I remember the days when content I posted had a big audience. Now, it's just the few loyal members. Still cool though. Who knows, maybe with Bungie's next project, I can restore MSXL to it's orignal glory.

Maybe I could get Points of Infinity active when the next project is annouced...
