Sorry to see SME is gone

I followed their link at the bottom ofthe page, getting ready for the season and saw this:

"The SME Network wants to thank our fans for their support over the
past three years. Unfortunately, due to the troubled economy, the
SME Network has been forced to suspend operations.

During the last two years, we have been searching for private/equity
investment sources to fund the expansion of the network. Last
summer one was found, which sparked the network to expand in
many areas, and had future plans in the works. It was an exciting
time to be around the Network.

However, due to the economy, our investor lost money with another
venture in another project and the group was forced to back out of
all current projects. This left SME in a terrible situation.

We now need to locate another investment source prior to returning
to operations. We hope to have this situation taken care of in a
timely manor and hope to return in some capacity this season. "

Well, I assume because it looks like it may be a rumor if they do still have some material for the season for us.
