After thinking about it overnight and the overwhelming messages from supporters who pleaded us not to close, we decided to continue. Some think that we will roll over and close at any sign of trouble or we are doing this as a “PR stunt” to get more cash. When the latest DDoS attack happened it seemed everything was against us. The first being the DDoS that would not stop like the previous ones did and our counter-measures had no effect on it. Secondly the datacenter refused to help divert the DDoS attack so we couldn’t even access our own servers. Being knocked down again and again on many fronts with no signs of a solution tested our resolve and our initial reaction was to call it a day.

We now know that a very large community of gamers is behind us and has given us new life to continue the fight. Our aim has and always will be to offer support, advice and help for the online gaming community and to provide the best service we can. The support the community has shown over the last few days has only strengthened our commitment to this cause.

We hope this clarifies why we did what we did. Now that we truly know the amount of support we have it makes it much easier to not only continue but to keep fighting.
