Some Big News for 1UP

Hey guys, I just want to fill you in on some changes we've been making on this end. As you probably remember, 1UP was acquired by IGN about two months ago, which was a big deal for us in that we could finally be part of a company that really gets both games and the internet (IGN's been doing this since the mid to late '90s). Having struggled through years of ownership often void of resources and imagination, it was sometimes incredibly challenging for me and the crew. If it weren't for such an amazing community and a fantastic group of passionate editors, this place would have been in real danger of closing up shop. But 1UP weathered the storm and has found a great new home in IGN.

Anyway, since then, we've moved 1UP's sites from a hosting facility in Massachusetts to IGN's server farm in Las Vegas (and despite a few expected hiccups, everything is functioning better than ever). We've also moved our offices down the street to IGN's building, allowing us to join some friends, be reunited with some former coworkers, and give me just a stupid awesome commute.
