Debunking all the reports of any fraudulent mishaps started by other websites, it seems super lucky Sonic fan Sierra Ranay has been put in the clear. A month or so ago, Sierra owner of Sonic Underground.net and maintainer of SHQ’s cartoons page, made the claim that she was contacted by Yuji Naka and a person named Keith Palmer of Sega Of America who wished to transfer ownership of www.sonicteam.com to their namesakes.
Well it seems the transfer is finished as Sonic Team has finally started uploading on its new website – www.sonicteam.com. Nothing is up yet except for the phrase “Coming Soon”. But at least this finally proves to the naysayers that Sierra wasnt lying. Her gift for being so helpful to SoA and Sonic Team – ALL SA related merchandise including the keychains, tee shirts, plushies: AND a copy of Sonic Shuffle before it hits the shelves! Congratulations Sierra.
