>This is to let you know that I am writing right now an email to Microsoft about the situation and requesting immediate feedback. From my perception, it seems someone over there decided to cut off the Universal Thread from the MVP program and I was not even advised. If that would be the case, this would turn out to be one of the worst decision Microsoft would have ever taken against one of the greatest community site ever created. From what I have seen, no one using the site on a regular basis have been renewed. That also includes me. We have people here answering hundreds of messages per month and they have completed been ignored. This is not making any sense to me.

Well, good luck with that ... I hope you get some answers. I know that my MVP Lead opened an account here in August, just when they started doing evaluations for the October award cycle, so there's *some* MS presence here. He hasn't been back since though.

Let us know what you find out ... and thanks for following up on this! =0)
