@Tsundererra: Honestly, I'm jealous of people who didn't know it. I still get on google and just search for the site so I can look at the layout and avatars. Sometimes I dream about it. =/
It ended because of a lot of drama that went on between the owners, from what I recall. They split up and it caused a lot of problems. Especially with the financial side of things.
There were some people who were trying to reach out to either of them to see if any of us could buy the rights to the the domain and art and everything; but to my knowledge there was no response.
It even took the staff by surprise. Most of them had no idea that anything was going down until just before the rest of us. They even told us we were going to get until a certain date to save everything and reach out to everyone we wanted to keep in contact with, but it wasn't followed through on and they shut the site down shortly after that promise.
