The emails have been pouring in and I've heard this first hand as well, CNET has decided to dissolve their website alliance. (Shades of the GameFan and GX shakeout?) Several large websites in the gaming market are/were a part of CNET. This includes Counter-Strike.net, , Crossroads, InsideMacGames, Stomped, GamersDepot, MSXBox, Unreal Universe, and many others. All of these websites were given their 30 day notice to find advertising (and in some cases, hosting) in order to stay afloat. The 'dotcom shakeout' is hitting closer and closer to home.

Since people always ask, Shack is an affiliate member of UGO.com along with BluesNews and HardOCP among others. I do my own hosting. If for some reason something similar were to happen here the show will go on, even if I end up doing this for free.
