Man if they are going to shut it down soon it would be a shame. I was just getting used to playing.

He either slept with tommy salo's wife and got run out of town by ryan smyth or he got some reporter pregnant. Both are extremely plausible.

47 hours, 57 minutes. The time between the press release announcing the Oilers recalling Zack Stortini from Hamilton and the press release announcing the Oilers assigning Zack Stortini to Hamilton. Theories?

“What ho, Jeeves.â€It continues, of course, in the style of Wodehouse's literary duo Jeeves and Wooster.
“Good morning, sir.â€
“What’s all this I hear about your heading up some Iraq Study Group? Have you been talking to my father again?â€
“Might I suggest the blue suit today? Something about this November suggests blue.â€
Sometimes Jeeves can be evasive, which is when I apply the old iron hand that we W.s are known for.
“Now, see here, Jeeves, I can handle this Iraq business myself.â€
“Yes, sir. But, if I may, there does seem to be something of a clamor for an exit strategy.â€
“Dash it, Jeeves, the only exit strategy is victory.â€
“Yes, sir. So Dr. Kissinger keeps insisting. And yet, as the Bard would suggest, ripeness is all.â€
(Which, by the way, is quite the enjoyable read. I'm almost done with my Best of Wodehouse tome, if someone else would like a go...)

Here's the story from Eurogamer. Key quote:
Agents from the FBI have raided and shut down the L2Extreme website and servers, which operated an unauthorised server for NCsoft's Lineage II massively multiplayer game, and claimed to have half a million registered users.
Working with NCsoft, the FBI carried out raids in multiple cities across the United States - presumably after a few false starts when their main tank had bad lag or their healers had a strop over loot allocation - and while its estimate of L2Extreme's popularity is rather lower, at 50,000 active users, it does agree that the operation was costing NCsoft millions of dollars a year. The owners of the site are being questioned and the website itself has been replaced with an FBI holding page which is impressively nasty both in terms of web design and content.
Cute story. But yeah, it's all about running copyrighted server code. Hard to defend that one. What does it mean for us? Enjoy it while you can, I guess.

Dunno... was it shut down over a legal battle? I had read that NCSoft had left the leaked code in the public domain...

Hey Beck and Geekfesters, did you hear they shut down a Lineage 2 private server (l2extreme.com)? Is that going to happen to all the lineage servers? What is the law in regards to private lineage servers?

The comments for the Richards youtube blinded me. How can so much junk be posted over a 2:47 min video without context?
