Gaming Network for sale

Phew. Just saw over at the Gameznet site that their network is for sale. This is another indication that the bad times for gaming sites aren't over yet. Here's what they have to say:

    I understand that this may be coming as a shock to all of you, but it has been something we have been considering for several months. Myself and Skrip have thought long and hard recently about the future of GameZNet and where we want to go with it. When it was all said and done we have decided that we will begin accepting offers on the GameZNet Network and that we will be moving on to greener pastures.

    The ad market has suffered through a lot this year, yet we have somehow been able to churn a profit in every month but one this year. In the end it's not really a financial decision for us here, but a decision based on our need to seek new challenges and to have the ability to dedicate ourselves 100% to our new fields.

    As a result we will be selling GameZNet to the highest bidder. This includes all Above and Beyond Technologies owned web sites. That includes popular web sites such as EQ'Lizer, Consoleparty, TA Universe, Unit Universe, GameZView, GameZCheat, MMO.GameZNet, Camelot Guild, etc. It also includes domain names we have been sitting on such as GamesPimp, GameZPimp, PSXers, GameZPortal, SovereignUniverse and others. Our network of web sites has served a minimum of six million ads every month since June of 1999.

    We believe this is an excellent opportunity for companies either trying to increase their market share, or for upstarts attempting to get a foothold in to this business.

    For financial information, server details, or any other questions that you may hav you can contact us by emailing jcsmith@gameznet.com.

    This may drag on for several months, and for those who are not perspective buyers it really means nothing to you. We will continue with the level of support that you have grown accustomed to.

I wish them all the best - their sites were always dedicated to the RPG gamer and I hope they find a solution for this situation. Hate to see them go.
