FightVG.com put on hiatus

Down but not out.

I'm putting FightVG.com on hiatus for the foreseeable future. It's not easy to make this decision but I'd rather be in a state where I can give you the best coverage I can give rather than go through the motions.

When we'll start updating the site again is unknown but we will let you know one week before the ball gets rolling again. This is not the end of the site, it's a long rest that needs to happen in order to have a brighter future.

To get your fight fix elsewhere, you should visit SRK and EventHubs. These sites have been going strong for years and have been doing an excellent job at providing the community news and tips on fighting games.

We'll be back and stronger than ever but until then, stay free.
