OCCUPY SAN VANELONA

Ok, as someone who works under the EA umbrella, a few things need to be brought to light. The skate 3 community is very, very small in comparison to some of the bigger releases. Millions of people play BF3 and Sims every day, only 100 or so play Skate. If you do a cost assessment of the website and servers, there's no way keeping the skate.reel going is profitable. Sure, there were tons of clips and graphics uploaded every day, but not that many users. Even the "community" isn't very busy, just the same people on both sites contributing on a regular basis. Now, there's inter-office talk that BB might be disbanded and reabsorbed within the company (similar to what happened to Pandemic) and if this is the case then there is zero chance of anything happening with the Skate series unless someone buys the rights to flickit. (Activision?) Maybe down the road on nextgen consoles, but not this generation.
But don't let that get you down, there's still hope. I've been talking to some colleagues over at Blackbox and one of my contacts is very aware of the issue with the skate.reel and she says that part of the issue has been the server restructure in North America coupled with crunchtime for SSX means skate.reel comes last on the list of priorities for EA and BB.
But they at least hear us, so that's a start.

Saunders got a developer on his thread everyone post there
thought just popped in my head. Best way for anybody to see that EA is dealin drugs with no substance.(DUMB METAPHOR) TWITTER.
I think if we got LOUD with Twitter, we might have another door of opportunity open, wishful thinking. I dont know how many of you use it but just Start using it for this sole reason to bash EA.
What about we live on with our lives?
threaten them with legal stuff
Dear [Insert Name]
The video game trilogy Skate has been amazing. We here at the Fluckit Forums are the last and most dedicated followers of this series. Over the years we've become a close knit community of skateboarders, artists, video artists, writers, and musicians. After only a little more than a year EA has shut down our servers. We don't ask for much. Please allow us to trade our in-game original art, in-game original skateparks. Please allow us to upload and download clips so that we can play this game the way it was intended. We know we'll never see another game. We'll never see a completely perfected build of the best skateboarding video game of all time. Isn't that punishment enough? Please let us play the way that we love, so that our community may continue to thrive and our friendships be built even stronger over time.
Sincerely,
Jack Barclay and everyone at Fluckit
P.S. - A backwards compatible patch for advanced free cam for Skate 1 & 2 would be lovely.
Edit as you see fit.
