Dear SiSSYFiGHT 2000 players,

It is with a sad heart that I write to confirm the news that SiSSYFiGHT 2000 is no more. Due to unexpected events, the game server has been taken down, and will not return for the foreseeable future.

Some of you may know that SiSSYFiGHT was created in collaboration between myself and the great folks at Word.com about ten years ago. When Word.com closed a couple years after launching the game, my then-fledgling company Gamelab took over the expense of keeping sissyfight.com going, and has been paying for the site hosting and traffic in the intervening years. Gamelab itself has fallen on hard times, and can no longer afford to keep the site running. That is the reason why the site has been taken down.

I want to apologize for the abrupt nature of the closing of the site. This did not happen as we had planned, and it is no reflection on the wonderful spirit, energy, and creativity of the game players and fans over the years. I want to thank all of you who have made the game great. Particularly, I want to thank Ranjit Bhatnagar and Naomi Clark, who have worked consistently to keep the site running. And I especially want to thank RamonaQ, who has tirelessly and selflessly managed the SiSSYFiGHT community since the very beginning. Ramona, SiSSYFiGHT would not be the same without you.

There are no definite plans for bringing the site back, but we are looking into possibilities. For those of you who want to connect with other players and reminisce about the great times we had, please visit http://sissyfightschoolboard.yuku.com/ and http://www.myspace.com/sissyrq.

Thanks again for everything.

Be playful,

- Eric Zimmerman
