Thats just f-ing great...that was the only place that had original visoly 256mbit carts. Is it becuase they got busted or don't want to get busted?

I wonder why they got shut down, legal issues or something else? Maybe just for selling to many clones

According to the Ownz people, this is a sham. According to them, they are NOT shutting down. (We shall see)

Yeah, Septic or whatever his name is says something about them being hacked or hosting problems. Can't quite recall the exact words but if any of you are not banned go and check it out.

If ur gonna post something on the main page GMO please use proper grammar and punctuation pls :P
looks a tad scruffy otherwise

since this is extremely major news, i think it is in order to place quotes from those that claim this is a sham, and post a copy+paste of the email (of course only some people are subscribed to their newsletter). Anyone who could do either of these please do so!

thanks

Hmm, it might be real since Septicgo took down the news that gamegizmo just got hacked.

I got an email from a staff member saying that they are working on the problem.

Anyone who recieved a bogus Email, you might want to check the address of the sender <u>news@game-gizmo.com</u>

Looks like the site is being redirected to www.game-gizmo.com.

If you look deeper into the bogus email you find this little beauty:

Sender: <9900-return-16-76025622@lb.bcentral.com>

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't <u>www.bcentral.com</u> a Microsoft website. Is this some sort of plot to put GameGizmo out of business?
