Yeah, 8 months before closing is a ridiculous business model. As it appears to be about money, I'm surprised there was no obvious attempt to sell it. I don't see why hanging on to the property rights of it would be important to them or anything.
The content was blurgh, but I do appreciate the frustration the users are feeling of losing a site without the age restrictions they were familiar with on Gaia and such.

I don't really understand why such places can't simply be abandoned rather than shut down? i mean couldn't it be a site that doesn't get updates and new stuff yet still remain open as a forum for friends and to play with the stuff already out???
I realize this might be a silly question but i don't know anything about the WWW hehehe

Money would still have to be spent on keeping up open though - the servers, that sort of thing.
