下面是聲明
I'm Tom (aka Spinner), a Stage6 user and an employee of DivX,
Inc., the company behind the service. I'm writing this message
today to inform you that we plan to shut down Stage6 on
February 28, 2008. Upload functionality has already been turned off,
and you'll be able to view and download videos until Thursday.
I know this news will come as a shock and disappointment to many
Stage6 users, and I'd like to take a few moments to explain the
reasons behind our decision.
We created Stage6 with the mission of empowering content creators
and viewers to discover a new kind of video experience. Stage6
began as an experiment, and we always knew there was a chance
that it might not succeed.
In many ways, though, the service did succeed, beyond even our
own initial expectations. Stage6 became very popular very quickly.
We helped gain exposure for some talented filmmakers who brought
great videos to the attention of an engaged community. We helped
prove that it's possible to distribute true high definition video
on the Internet. And we helped broaden the Internet video experience
by offering content that is compatible with DVD players, mobile
devices and other products beyond the PC.
So why are we shutting the service down? Well, the short answer is
that the continued operation of Stage6 is a very expensive enterprise
that requires an enormous amount of attention and resources that we
are not in a position to continue to provide. There are a lot of other
details involved, but at the end of the day it's really as simple as that.
Now, why didn't we think of that before we decided to create Stage6
in the first place, you may ask? That's a good question. When we
first created Stage6, there was a clear need for a service that would
offer a true high-quality video experience online because other video
destinations on the Internet simply weren't providing that to users.
A gap existed, and Stage6 arrived to fill it.
As Stage6 grew quickly and dramatically (accompanied by an explosion
of other sites delivering high-quality video), it became clear that
operating the service as a part of the larger DivX business no longer
made sense. We couldn't continue to run Stage6 and focus on our broader
strategy to make it possible for anyone to enjoy high-quality video
on any device. So, in July of last year we announced that we were
kicking off an effort to explore strategic alternatives for Stage6,
which is a fancy way of saying we decided we would either have to sell it,
spin it out into a private company or shut it down.
I won't (and can't, really) go into too much detail on those first two
options other than to say that we tried really hard to find a way to
keep Stage6 alive, either as its own private entity or by selling it
to another company. Ultimately neither of those two scenarios was possible,
and we made the hard decision to turn the lights off and cease
operation of the service.
So that's where we are today. After February 28, Stage6 will cease to
exist as an online destination. But the larger DivX universe will continue
to thrive. Every day new DivX Certified devices arrive on the market making
it easy to move video beyond the PC. Products powered by DivX Connected,
our new initiative that lets users stream video, photos, music and Internet
services from the PC to the TV, are hitting retail outlets. We remain
committed to empowering content creators to deliver high-quality video
to a wide audience, and we'll continue to offer services that will make
it easy to find videos online in the DivX format.
It's been a wild ride, and none of it would have been possible without
the support of our users. Thank you for making Stage6 everything that
it was.

上面有很多高畫質MAD，很多偶像大師的高畫質MAD都在這裡抓的
今天趁伺服器還在營運時抓了七、八個下來
不知有沒有人可以推薦裡面有什麼MAD比較好可以讓我保存的
