As  you can see from THIS THREAD (http://www.bfmracing.net/forums/index.php?topic=50899.0) that the long dreaded demise of the Gamespy lobby has been anticipated for quite some time.  While only heaven knows if the final days of the Halo Gamespy lobby are close at hand or if we have a significant amount of time to go, what is known is that the reliability of the Gamespy lobby for Halo has been somewhat spotty for a while and, as a result, many member of the community have started using other means to find/connect with our servers...most notably X-fire.  No doubt that when that day comes, that Gamespy finally gives up the ghost, it will have an effect.  When that will be and how big an effect it will have will have to remain to be seen.  Who knows...maybe this is really what the Mayans were predicting?!?!  :zoot:
