DivXit: The second coming of Stage6?

DivXit.net
Almost two months to the day after DivX shut down its marginally popular Stage6 video sharing site, it looks like a third party group plans to resurrect the service. Or at least to clone it.

There's not much information available about DivXit.net yet, other than the fact that the site should launch next week.

The company shut down Stage6 because it was spending too much time and energy on the bandwidth-heavy site instead of focusing on its core mission of working with hardware manufacturers to deliver DivX-certified devices.

Update: It looks like DivXit has a new name and a new launch date.

That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
