Here is what happened.

The Company Sedgwick Media Group that bought Sixshot.com in September 2007 filed for bankruptcy on January 28th 2009.

Because SMG’s admin tried to sabotage the site and caused the downtime I had to deactivate all admin accounts until I find out who can be trusted.

I am the old admin who founded the site in 1997 and I am volunteering to keep the site up and running until we find a way to finance it again.

I could not see my baby go down the drain and hopefully I can get a hold of the Site again. The negotiations will take place this and next month and then I should know more…

Any admin or contributor that still wants to contribute or help out, please email me at b@sixshot.com

it aint just a few dollars...well it is if was a basic website or some shit...like 50-150 a year but if its a site that has its own server and host/offer website hostin like this one does if u ever bothered to look at the links thats on this site other than mcbattles and latest topics..then shit could run from 30-99 a month...soooooo that shit aint just a few funky dollars and since this site been established since 1997 and seein all the damn vistors this shit has on a daily basis...the site name itself is probably worth alot of dollars...hence the fact SMG brought it...but obviously couldnt afford an email address since they went bankrupt
