Just three years ago, the university reached its highest position, number three, on Yahoo! Internet Life online magazine's ranking of the "Most Wired Universities."

However, Yahoo! Internet Life magazine won't be ranking any more universities, as the magazine was folded this summer.

In early July, Ziff-Davis Media announced that the August issue of the Yahoo! magazine would be the last. Traditionally, Yahoo! released its "Most Wired" list each September.

According to News.com, the magazine was canceled due to decreased technology advertising. In the last year the magazine reportedly lost a 52 percent of its market share despite more than a million paid subscribers.

Yahoo's "Most Wired" ranking was once a bragging right for many schools. However, in the last several years, universities across the nation have given less and less attention to the rankings.

Junior Ben Harris was a freshman when the university was ranked number three. "It is definitely something that I remember, we were (one of) the most wired when I came to school," he said.

In 2000, Yahoo! included technical schools and altered the weight for different categories.

A year later, the last time Yahoo! ranked schools, the university ranked 20th in the nation. This was third in the ACC, with UVA and FSU out-ranking the university.

It is hard to tell where the university would place in this year's ranking. Significant advances in infrastructure and wireless computing resources were complete or are planned for this year.

However, the university already excelled in these areas. Technical support and e-learning were two areas where the university came up short.

Last year did see special recognition of the university Web site. It was ranked as the best portal in the Yahoo! listing.

The ranking hasn't been without controversy and some schools probably won't miss it. In last year's rankings 88 universities refused to complete online surveys to help Yahoo! rank schools.

Wake Forest was not one of those schools however, and these schools were still considered and include four of the Top 10 schools.

In response, Yahoo! decided to use a third party to collect information about a college in this year's ranking, according to the Indiana Daily just two weeks before the magazine closed.
