I’ve never gotten around to getting an Xbox, I don’t know why, too busy to play with more than 1 or 2 game consoles. But I’m not too busy to point users in the direction of a well thought out, busy, friendly fan site. XBox Users Group looks to be one of the better xbox fan sites. I found a few others, but most seem to have moved on or are on free hosts which lack customizations and personality. XBox Users group is also recognized by Xbox.com as an Official Xbox Fan site and Friends of Xbox

From what I could find the XBox Users Group has been around for Xbox owners since December 2001. XUG has attracted over 41,000 members. This is truly a unique website that caters to the Xbox enthusiast. Xbox Users Group provides services for members of the community by providing news, reviews, previews, general articles, forums, and media galleries, and many live offerings as well, because Xbox Users Group has been part of the Xbox.com Community Developer Program and is therefor able to offer Xbox Live Embedded Services to members and guests. A complete list of live integration is here.

All in all, if you’re into XBox, and looking for a home, this is the site for you.

A Few stats I could gather:

• First user on their forums site is Rhyze, with over 20,000 posts.
• Threads: 64,971, Posts: 424,423, Members: 41,396
• Forum Software: vBulletin
