What's up with deleting posts re: mech commander downloads?

I just don't get it.

My posts have been removed, I mean any <fill in the blank> could just google for the keywords and get a bunch of legit game sites that host the shared source code (since it was released for free) and yet on these forums it's all hush hush untill MS fixes the link?

What gives?

Maybe because this is the XNA Game Studio Express forum, which is not related to the MC2 source release.

Hmmm, apparently you misunderstood my post. The threads about MC2 source are still there, just my posts showing alternate downloads (since MS link is down) for MC2 source are gone.

Also, MC2 source IS related as it is meant to be the primary example showing off the XNA product.

MC2 is not intended to showcase or be related to XNA Game Studio Express functionality (it was previously released as a sample for XNA Build, a different XNA technology represented on a different forum), so it isn't relevant to this particular XNA Game Studio Express forum.

Nevermind, this point is moot. The action just doesnt make sense.

So is XNA Build still going to exist? Is it a level above XNA GS Pro?

Yes, But it is not related to XNA Game Studio at this time. From our website:

Microsoft? XNA? Build is a tool and set of technologies which will help game studios manage the growing complexities of their game content builds.

So its a system designed to manage large games and the build(compile) process associated with them.
