The website never went beyond beta status, and was shut down by DivX Inc. on February 29, 2008 because of apparent inability to support Stage6 financially, or other officially unspecified reasons. In June 2008, CNET hailed Stage6 as one of the greatest defunct websites in history.〔, crave.cnet.co.uk〕 ==History== First launched in 2006 by DivX, Inc. and in public beta,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.webtvhub.com/stage-6-alpha-becomes-beta ), webtvhub.com〕 Stage6 was similar to other video sharing sites like YouTube in allowing streaming video to be uploaded freely by anyone willing to register.
