Downfall
From 2008 onwards, popularity slowly dwindled. The community eventually reached a state where the gaming servers and forums were rarely used at all, and the lack of support for more current titles ultimately led CyberSlams' demise. It therefore followed, that in the middle of 2010, CBN Media pulled the pin on CyberSlam. The CyberSlam Homepage now reads:
After much thought and some sadness we have decided to withdraw support for the CyberSlam.com.au website and forum. In it's heyday CyberSlam was a thriving player community, where we all spent much time playing games online, competing in organised tournaments and having pro-active discussions through the forums. It was as much fun organising competitions as your feedback said it was to play in them.
However over time our attention has been directed elsewhere, and with that the opportunity is now open for someone else. If anyone would like to continue the CyberSlam website, or do something with large community of registered players, we'd love to hear from you.

Famous quotes containing the word downfall:
“Show me one thing here on earth which has begun well and not ended badly. The proudest palpitations are engulfed in a sewer, where they cease throbbing, as though having reached their natural term: this downfall constitutes the heart’s drama and the negative meaning of history.”
—E.M. Cioran (b. 1911)
“Children demand that their heroes should be fleckless, and easily believe them so: perhaps a first discovery to the contrary is less revolutionary shock to a passionate child than the threatened downfall of habitual beliefs which makes the world seem to totter for us in maturer life.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
