This is really sad news. EP and SOR have been affiliates for years. I hope that they are able to pull all the pieces together and wish them the best with any new direction they decide to take.

It's often overlooked but running these sites is a hard personal choice. I started EP when I was 13 and it's a huge part of me, can't really think of ever shutting it down. Obviously, sometimes I fear for my own safety and I totally understand Matrlxs' decision.

EP will continue the same as much as we can because we LOVE video games! But we need to be every bit aware and vigilant because these days 'The times they are a-changing.'

We're working on some awesome new sections and features for EP coming up in 2012 and I'm super excited about that stuff
