Downtime
Shortly after the release of Stick Arena to the public, the Xgen Studios Forums are prone to extended downtime, database errors, lag, and a phenomenon which the members define as a 'n00b flood'. Downtime is usually off and on, sometimes it's off for 3 minutes, others for 2 or 3 days. However, the frequency that downtime occurs has diminished recently, as one of the problems was a massive thread in the forum which has since been removed.

Additionally, the forums were updated to the most recent version of vBulletin, which was expected to eliminate the frequent downtime, it didn't, however, as the forum suffered a large downtime on October 6th. They are still suffering from large down time, even with the "return of Jordan" to the forums. Jordan is gone once again. But a new fix has been added to the fact that TwiZted Jok3R has managed the new and improved code.

Redesign
The XGenStudios site went through a major redesign on February 28, 2007. The site was made to look much more "modern". One of the major changes is that games now open in a pop-up window. However, many of the hard-core veteran "elites" members felt that the new site had just turned into one of the many "professional looking" sites. They felt that the old design, although modest, was at least unique.
