GameFan Network Belly Up -- 4:15 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

A website called Game Surge was sent this love letter from their network, GameFan, on Friday:

Dear GameFan Network Associate:

We regret to inform you that Express.com will no longer be offering the courtesy of hosting services to its GameFan Network Associates. We have found that this service can no longer be supported under our business model, and we will do whatever we can within reason to facilitate any transitional requirements.

The timing for this is as soon as possible, and is to occur no later than Monday, October 2, 2000. To be clear, any GameFan Network Associate site that has not been moved off Genuity s servers by 11:59 PM October 2nd will effectively be shut down, so it is critical that you take independent action to retrieve and independently procure hosting provider for your site(s).

If you read Something Awful, you know that Lowtax hasn't been paid by Gamefan for months and is taking legal action. To top it all off, the jerks gave their hosted sites a total of three days to get off the server or lose everything. I'd like to see the contracts those guys signed for hosting . . . This probably also explains why I haven't been able to get to Voodoo Extreme for the past couple of days. Thanks to Evil Avatar for the heads-up.
