Kam converted the basic Pentix forums on the site to a separate section of the website called Pentix Board, a precursor to [[UPSB]]. A chatroom had already been released, named "UPSB Chat". On November 6th 2002 the site was featured again on USA Today's 'Hot site' list<ref>[https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/webguide/hotsites/2002-11-06-hotsites.htm May 16 2002 USA Today Hot Sites featuring Pentix]</ref>. In the second half of 2003 a Flash-based Pentix Client was released that could show video tutorials. On September 26 2003 the bandwidth allowed by Moden Studios was exceeded and Pentix was shut down permanently to be replaced with Pentrix. After numerous requests, Kam released an archive of Pentix pages on the Pentrix site on November 1st, 2003.</div></td></tr>
