Stage 6 is closed

stage 6You might know stage 6 as a place where you could watch high resolution dvix clips, movies, music videos or anything that has something visual in it. Now, after a few years Stage 6 has closed his gates. The reason is not something that everybody accepts, but it’s kind of true. As Spinner said

“So why are we shutting the service down? Well, the short answer is that the continued operation of Stage6 is a very expensive enterprise that requires an enormous amount of attention and resources that we are not in a position to continue to provide. There are a lot of other details involved, but at the end of the day it’s really as simple as that.”

Sad too hear this and the closure date is February 28, 2008 leaving the users 3 days too download their files from the servers. Stage 6 stated the in July last year they encountered this problem and they had 3 solutions: sell it, spin it out into a private company or shut it down. I don’t know how, but they couldn’t do anything else but shut it down. I’ve read some of the comments on the site, users are very upset.

Sad end for a good video storage place. Life goes on, back to Youtube :-) .
