Forums - General - Stage6 to close on thursday

SO, if anyone here is a stage6 user and hasn't log on the site today, you just got to the main page and read the official announcement.

 

I'm really sad, that was the only site on the internet when you can freely share, stream and dowloand high deinition video (it supports up to 2gb videos with a resolution up to 1920*1080 and unlimited length). I'll miss it

This sucks. The video quality was sooooo much better than youtube. The streaming was always fast and it gave the option to download.



@FishyJoe

Did u know any video site that can really replace stage6?



<The Knight of The Doomeds>

why it closed ?



In the official announcement they say that it was because the site was not profitable enought (they dont handle lots of publicity or paid accounts). But many people on their forum think that maybe there could be some legal problems to keep the site alive...

I thing that that one must be true, because i really can't believe that one of the Alexa top 150 sites areisn't profitable.

That is the dumbest shit ever, i have watched and downloaded so many great movies off that site. Plus lots of it is legal stuff too, all the 720p/1080p video game stuff and all the other hd stuff they had.



I've never heard of that site. I too hate it when sites close due to money problems.



I like Bacon said:

I doubt its money problems, most people use this site to host illegal copies of movies for others to download.  I bet they had a lawsuit brought against them.



I could care less about the movie rips on Stage6...but there was so much great high quality content...it was the place to go for indie movies or game videos...not enough people knew about it, but apparently that doesn't matter.

It loaded faster than Youtube, looked a million times better, and just had great features. But I can see why it failed, it was too good to be true, and too much of a bandwidth hog.



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

The real reason for me to log on Stage6 was the anime fansubs, there I can actually read them and there was a great collection. And as BenKenobi says, i think that it was to good to be true.
