What a depressing email. Gamespy is where I first got my feet wet at hosting a game site, and working on mods. But I am not the only one effected. What about all the other hosted sites over at planet blood. It feels like we are losing a piece of history.
I can understand that being hosted by a planet site today isn't what it meant about 10 years ago. Back when gamespy was king and the planet sites were our one stop shop for news and downloads. Games are becoming more and more corporate every day, along with our fan sites. But I guess that is the way everything is going.
File planet will remain, but a what can/should we do about some of the planetblood.com sites that will be lost on Aug. 31st. Ideas? Suggestions?
IGN is shutting down all hosted sites.

Speaking as someone to young to actually be a part of Planet Blood or even be aware of it at its heyday, even I am saddened by these continued warnings of its coming demise. Just looking through the archived content is enough to make you respect the website. It may even have contributed to my conversion from regular gamer to hardened bloodlite in 2007. I have already tried my best to backup what I can on my humble little Wiki, but as zZaRDoZz said we are without the ability to file host. I just hope that most of the valuable content will exist in some form after the dust settles from the demolition in august.
