what ever happened to that free online play on the weekends for Silver XBL owners? Did they scrap the idea or was it simply a blunt lie? Does anyone even remember?

It was never going to be every weekend - just the odd weekend, kind of like what Steam does with free game weekends.

They considered it not necessary since millions of lems give them money willfully for nothing. In fact they decided that increasing the price makes them love M$ more.kuraimen

and also million of PC users pay to play online, and to chat online, for nothing. and the price incease is only in the US

Was it just for Reach? Usually these free gold weekends apply to all games.

I guess it was a huge misconception. I am pretty sure they said something like this. Or else there would not be a faq for this thing

7. I heard that the Xbox Live Silver service will allow me to play multiplayer games online on weekends. Is that true?

Yes and No. It is not true that Xbox Live Silver users will be able to play multiplayer games like Xbox Live Gold members every weekend. However, Microsoft plans to allow Silver users to play multiplayer games online on special weekends similar to when HBO has free programming weekends.
