Only 20 days after we started talking about Extreme Lan, they had this post in their forums.

Despite our best efforts to get funding to keep the event alive after we lost our largest financial contributor, all attemps to get funding have failed. ExtremeLAN officially will be cancelled in the next few days, and everyone will be refunded as quickly as possible. Thank you all for your support, and we regret that we have been forced to cancel the event. I have lost entirely too much money at this, so I believe I will be out of the “Big LAN” business for good…

We are sorry to see this event go. In our part of the world, you dont get opportunities like this very often. It looks like that will continue to be the case.
