So the fact that my account here online looks like it has all of its levels back to no games played is just during the updates?

Believe me, they aren't clueless. As a software developer I can assure you they are doing everything in their power to get things working again. XBL and the .com were put up so you would have something different than a simple disconnect, and it proves they are doing something.

At least now we have official recognition of the problem.

They said it wasn't a dashboard update. If you actually read their news post it states changes were made to the My Xbox page and the Xbox Forums, something to do with the friends list. You will see no difference on your console.

Well thanx man, it's just that I'm sure there's a way they can post something on the xbox.com website stating the problem, it can't be that hard. But thanx for the update!!

PS. By the way your link doesn't work for me.

Xbox.com is timing out... that probably means they're updating it and it should be fully up soon.
