Thief.net at SlyThiefNet.webs.com Goes Offline

It has recently come to our attention that fellow Sly Cooper fan website, Theif.net, has gone offline. Thief.net was a major source of inspiration for the Sly Cooper Fan Network, and at one point served as the top Sly Cooper fan site aside from the Wiki. Thief.net was first published on November 16, 2006 at its original domain, freewebs.com/thiefsnet. The site moved to SlyThiefNet.webs.com two years later as a result of a "nasty bug going around" the old version. 

Thief.net was known for its incredibly informative walkthroughs and vibrant members community that totaled to almost 200 fans prior to its closure. Thief.net was once the longest running Sly Cooper fan website, but after two years of inactivity, the news doesn't come as much of a shock. Thief.net is yet another site that has fallen victim to Free Web's attempts to clear up server space, and is probably the tenth Sly Cooper fan site that has expired due to inactivity. This news comes just one year after The Cooper Vault at SlyCooperFS.webs.com went offline, marking another major loss in Sly Cooper fan community history and culture. If you want to see what the site was like back in its glory days, you can check it out on the Intenet Archive Wayback machine here (original domain) and here (recent domain). With so many Sly Cooper fan entities disappearing lately, it raises an existential question about the Sly Cooper Fan Network. Life admittedly has a tenancy to get in the way of frequent updates, but I am still committed to the site and don't expect us to disappear anytime soon!
