Either this is a PR stunt, a gimmick, but personally, I don't think so and think the site is closed for good.
What pisses me off is that 221 has been talking about the tons of interviews he has done that he was saving "for the fans", then he closes the site and even the closing is guised as being "for the fans". So those fifteen interviews I've heard him mention that I'm still waiting on, what happened to those?
Also, just closing it like that is such a stupid fucking move. They still have the server, they still have the domain, why not just disable posting in all the forums and let people browse what's already there? If I knew they were closing there's some info, posts from various members, that I'd like to save for future reference.
I don't buy the bullshit they put on the site. They might as well have said "we don't give a fuck anymore and don't feel like spending more time on you idiots", that way I wouldn't have to wonder. If anyone has saved the JPGs for the confirmed unreleased list and wants to give them to me, please PM me.
