Shock news: Barrysworld to close

BarrysWorld To End
BarrysWorld are to cease all operations from 5 February 2001, and have already gone into voluntary liquidation. Basically, we have run out of money and, with the current state of the market, have been unable to secure sufficient alternative funding/revenue.

We are all devastated by this situation and despite our best efforts to secure some sort of deal to keep the business alive, we have been forced to pull the plug before someone pulls it for us. You can read Ted's statement on the situation in this press release.

We would like to thank all of our registered members and clans, the many people who have hosted sites with us, our many thousands more occasional visitors and of course the hundreds of community volunteers who put their free time into BarrysWorld, its leagues and related sites, for their help in building the best gaming service in Europe, and possibly the world.

It's been a fun four years and we would have wanted to carry on getting bigger and better. Unfortunately that decision is no longer in our hands. Go check out Ted's statement and then comment in the BarrysWorld Forum if you want. You can also checkout the Official Press Release.

This is a real loss to the community, and they will be sorely missed. Make sure you check out the rest. More news as we get it.
