I've just noticed that the nice folks at Office.com are still linking to Big Resources from their home page.

Either a very nice gesture or just plain laziness/forgetfulness. (Me thinks the latter.)

A while back BR joined forces with Office.com but it wasn't to last.

(In fact if you look at the title legend page, it still has the old Office.com layout as it was overlooked in the most recent site update!) ;)

I had noticed that the title legend was an office.com page. It still has a link to office.com.

The title legend page problem was noticed AGES ago, yet it still hasn't been delt with.

This is becuase it was first only reported in the middle of the SPAM thread, and so only a few people saw it. Later on, other people have reported it, but BR are so busy now what with the hacking, etc, that they just don't have the time.

So it is understandable that BR have a single, low-traffic page unchanged, but Office.com have their FRONT PAGE still un changed. And a big site like that should be ashamed of itself.

Yes, they should be ashamed of themselves. They should be smarter than that:D.

office.com is a bit disorganised for my liking, I expect someone forgot to remove the link or the template for the site has not been updated recently.

Yeah, it's unlikely that they left it there deliberately.

And don't worry, pixelmonkey has reported the legends page to the Almighties again in the maderators forum. It'll get done eventually, they just have rather more important issues to deal with right now.

I think office.com went bust or something, that is why the canceled the deal with BR. I could be wrong, but it would explain them not updating their front page and all that ;)

Well Winstar (Office.com's parent) went into finance troubles, but the Office.com site is still up and running - it hasn't gone 'bust', so to speak.

Also, the title legend is a bit out of date, it doesn't include all 18 levels...
