Welcome, GeezerGamers

After a year or so of letting it sit around undisturbed, I've started to more actively promote Planbeast. I began with this post on GeezerGamers.com, a web-based community for grown-up video gamers, many of whom love online play.

The Geezers have so far been invaluable not just in making some nice suggestions about the site, but calling out its flaws as well. For one thing, our registration system wasn't allowing recognizing addresses with two-letter TLDs (such as .uk or .ca) as valid. Just as alarming, the magic elves who populate our database with new titles had somehow managed to overlook both Modern Warfare 2 and Borderlands, two of the most popular Xbox Live games right now. I patched these errors as fast as I could, and extend my gratitude to those who report them to me. Please keep the bug reports coming!

New members, especially those who frequent web forums, should check out Planbeast Cards. Paste these little code snippets into your forum signatures will let everyone else on the web know what online games you like, and when you're next scheduled to play an online XBL game. (Yes, I should make that page more obvious to this site's users somehow...)

One one user's request, I have also created a game entry for Halo 2, even though it's technically not an Xbox 360 game. Microsoft has announced that it's pulling the plug on XBL support for original Xbox title (including Halo 2) in April, and Planbeast can help you get your last licks in before the servers go dark.

Happy planning!
