Thumbs up Website listens to its users!!

I had to post this as I think it's important that good doings are paraded properly about the net.

www.hsx.com pushed live a massive update to their movie stocks trading game website a few days back. It was a bold new direction for them but a huge chunk of the community of players baulked at the changes in the gameplay and vented in their forums. To which the HSX staff replied:

Dear Loyal HSXers


You spoke (yelled, screamed, voodoo lambada cursed), and, we listened...


We're restoring HSX Classic. The trusty old site will be back up in the next day (knock on wood) with your portfolios exactly as they were before we switched over. It's kinda like time travel, but you won't be watching Krakatoa erupt 500 miles away, on a beach... with a daquiri.
We'll spend more time cleaning out the bugs and adding the features to make the new HSX a worthy successor...and learning from your feedback, we'll make the transition to the new site gradual, when it's ready for prime time. The beta site will run side-by-side to HSX Classic so give it a chance at http://beta.hsx.com over the coming months and help us make it the exchange you've been looking for.


You, the HSX Community are the reaon we come into work every morning. We hope you'll keep trading and continue to let us know how we are doing!
I thought this was a pretty big/awesome move on their behalf as they've *clearly* spent a lot of time and money on the new system. Felt I should share.

Unhappy HSX totally down

It still isn't working for me. I'm getting a password protected box. Is it working for you?
