Say Bye-Bye to an Old Friend!

No, Not me, silly!

IGN is off the air!! we all expected it, but now our fears have been confirmed. Seems all these sites are running out of funds! Too bad to all thsoe people who paid 10 bucks to be an insider or whatever that was. Talk about money down the drain.

WHAT??? I was just there two hours ago, and they had a message about how they were going to be shutdown on June 1. But once you click the link, you realize that it\'s just for a few days while the staff has some kind of annual party, and they\'ll be back open next monday.

If they are shutting down for good, then try an post a link to the story cause this news is totally from out of the blue.

hmm, I guess either

a) they read BBS too and played a joke on poor ole Eric\'s head.

or

b) are enlightening us to the near future.


It got you going though, didn\'t it?

It can\'t be free. Running an expensive internet site, does COST money.
Bandwidth.
Storage.
Hosting.

So on and so on.

Even if they do close, it doesnt matter too us too much. There is all the news here in this forum. Dont need to go anywhere else really.

Everyone gets news from all over the place and post it here. :) It saves so much time if your not in the mood for surfing the net.

IGN is one of the best game news sites on the web

I became an Insider since its only $20 for a year and it helps fund them and keeps them going

I enjoy knowing my 7pm PST update will be there
