A sad day - I was using it to watch Stargate Atlantis while away at school (as well as Torchwood and other random TV shows). I guess I'll have to find something else to waste my time or just start doing my work more.

Man I just surfed over there not realizing that it went down. Sad day for high quality video on demand. I used to get all sorts of fixes on that site. Hopefully something will come back as amazing as Stage6.com was.
