The Day After...

Well, what can I say? The Join The Ghosts event was a massive success. Over 50 members of the public and press came along to the event and I was very pleased with the whole thing. You can find more coverage of the event on BXB.

Anyway, what the success of this event goes to show that despite numerous pretenders springing up over the last few months, BXB is still a leader in the area of Xbox Community. Not only are we promoting and nurturing our own community but also helping others to widen their own circles.

The Join The Ghosts was a "networking" event for many of the visitors with numerous fansites attending, chatting, sharing ideas and swapping phone numbers. It was a great feeling to see that an event I'd been so heavily involved in organising was helping other communities to grow and knit together.

But I think the most humbling thing was the thanks I got from the attending people. I'm certainly not one to shy away from publicity and I am a well known attention whore (hence the blog) but yesterday was a totally different experience.

To see something I'd been envisioning in my head for so long finally come to fruition was just incredible. I don't think it's sunk in yet that it's all happened and that it was very successful.

It's was good to be back where BXB belongs - making the news.

I'd like to thank Chris at Ubisoft and Paul at Skirmish High Wycombe for having the vision and the drive to make this event a reality. Couldn't have done it without them.

Websites that visited the event include: Xboxgamezone, 360 monster, Hexus, Press Start Online, Xbox Live Addicts, Totally 360, Pro-G, GameCell, Gaming-360, Game.net, TGSN, Bit-Tech and Club Skill. So thanks to the sites for visiting the event and I can't wait to see your coverage!
