First of all I want to thank everybody that has visited this site over the years. What started as a tiny blog five years ago about the easiest games on the Xbox 360 has progressed to one of the highest ranking Xbox 360 Achievement sites available and a very active forum.

As you all have probably noticed, lately the updates from me have been few and far between. As much as I have tried, I cannot give the time and commitment this site deserves. So after a long and careful consideration, I have decided to put this site up for sale and I am in negotiation to a new owner. Hopefully they will be prepared to take over where I left off, and continue with the forum.

There is a great little and unique warm community here (and friends made) and it would be a absolute tragedy if it were to be shut down. I will also be in negotiation to provide a transitional period for the new owners and help the staff.

As for me, I will be embarking on a new venture creating games for the iPhone, iPad and Windows Phone 7 including a two new websites. I will post the address once it is up and running if anyone is interested.

I do want to say I am proud of how far this site has grown. The inter-site competitions, the fantastic guides and posts uploaded by members and the incredible dedicated staff that has developed. None of this would have been possible without the most important part of the site however, the members.

Thank you all again for being a part of EX3A. I hope to keep all you on my friends list on Xbox Live (and by the time Xbox 720 comes out they increase the friends list over 100) and please send a friend request if you are not.

Thanks Slam as we discussed before we knew it was going to happen but still it's hard. Trying not to think of what might happen, hopefully as you said we get somebody who has the same interests at heart for the site as you did & still do for many years to come.

May i just say a big thank you Slam for starting the site and getting it where it is now, we have a great community here unlike many other sites. I wish you all the best with your future ventures, i will be buying all your iphone / ipad games no doubt. Please do keep us informed of the 2 new sites so we can all jump on and check them out!

Sad news to hear but that is part of life. Eventually it always becomes time to move on. All of your work turning this into such a great site is appreciated. I just hope whoever takes over is able to keep this community together the way it has been for the years I have been here.

Whatever new site you create you can be assured you already have a few members from here that will be there to check it out.

Best of luck in all your new projects.

A real end of an era no doubt. All the well wishes are a fitting tribute to your hard work and determination in keeping this site running Slam and I'd humbly add my name to those posts above. Congrats on your up and coming projects and I wish you every success. Keep us all posted on those new sites when they go live and I'm sure we'll all jump in the forum and say hello.

I've been a member for less than a week, but you helped me get my account set up and all sorted, so many thanks for that Slam. It really sounds like you'll be missed. Hopefully the forum/site will continue to exist in the same high fashion it has been once you've moved on to your other stuff.
