End of an era indeed... Though I'll be more sad when BU closes than PU, I still had memories going there. That was the first place I go to looking for UT mods & maps, and boy was I frustrated by FilePlanet.
I keep hoping that this new BeyondUnreal site would host the mods instead and was happy when they finally did.
I did like the GameSpy site back around '99-2001 with the stuff Fargo did like Daily Victim of the Week and the flash based movies like CS remade into an afterschool special.
Other than that, I just don't bother with GS for a long while now, I don't even play UT online anymore...
