In an attempt to reinvigorate the Gamesville site, Lycos entered into a year-long integration with Skilljam starting in 2006; purportedly the integration was designed to provide premium "best in class skill and casual free games for cash prizes, combined with exclusive games content not available anywhere else"[REF] to Gamesville players.
In April 2007, Lycos issued a public apology,[REF] announcing an end to the Skilljam partnership and a promise to return the site to its roots.
