Just found out they're shutting it down on the 28th, shame, it was a great site, not that I used it much.

I've never heard of it before. It's like You Tube right?

Damn, that's a real fucking shame. It had some great stuff on there, like anime, and other cartoons, but also nice tutorials for photoshop etc...

What's the reason they're closing down!? Probably threats over copyrights, I bet...

On February 25, 2008, Stage6 announced that it is shutting down service effective February 28, 2008 as they are no longer able to provide the attention and resources that are necessary for its continued service.

And Brad, yeah it's a video site, but high quality and HD stuff.

I really hope it will be replaced by a simular kind of website, where you dont have to log in first etc to watch some movies or cartoons, and offers the same good quality.
I will try to download the interesting tutorials from that site tomorrow...

It also expense in running the site was another reason.

Bummer.
I've downloaded more than 2000 videos from Stage6.

This is where I discovered Bleach, Tsubasa Chronicle and many other anime series.
This was also a great place to download J-Pop related videos (Aya Ueto, Morning Musume, etc...)

Dont blame me. I've linked to, and mentioned it, plenty of times.
Your own fault for skipping over all my posts
