sad news indeed

wondering how youtube made it and they didnt:< youtube cant be compared to what stage6 is offering in like a million years!

Prolly because their streaming uses significantly more bandwidth and is thus more expensive?

Might be totally off though :).

but they had good things to offer and people liked it, they should get sponsored by some company if you ask me

Just saw @quicksilverscreen that they will try to stay running, just use different (aka crappier) streaming.

haha, you think youtube uses less bandwidth than stage6?

even if stage6 offered the bext quality they could they still wouldn't go near youtube's bandwidth usage.

it may be but saying youtube doesn't "blow crazy traffic" is the understatement of the century.

sure, obviously as shown stage6 don't have the facilities to offer HD streaming longterm but youtube are increasing their quality to around 80% of what stage6 offered.
