RPG Codex is dead?

Tried to log on to the Codex, and all I got was this message:
Dear RPG Codex users,

We have recently had to give serious thought as to whether we could really keep RPGCodex.net going the way it was. We've debated on it for quite some time and, unfortunately, we've decided that the RPG Codex simply could not remain in its popamole state.

We're very grateful for all support we've received from all of you over the past eight years. We've come a long way since being founded in 2002. Working on RPGCodex.net was a great adventure for all of us and an unforgettable journey to the past, through the long and wonderful history of PC RPG's.

In the end, we simply didn't have enough internets to keep going the way we were. We needed over 13,811 moar internets and they weren't coming in fast enough.

You may give internets in memory of the Codex.

This doesn't mean the idea behind RPGCodex.net is gone forever because truthfully, ideas never die. An idea is something you know and when you don't even know what it is you don't know, you can't really lose the things i don't even what is this; as Cleve would say. So we're closing down these forums and website and putting this era behind us as new challenges await.

On a technical note, this week we'll put in place a solution to allow everyone to re-visit their old forum posts. Stay tuned to this page and follow us on Twitter and Facebook for updates - or sexually harass the people at RPGWatch.

All the best,
GOG.com The bros from rpgcodex.net (not .com, that's a different set of bros)

Is this for real, or just one of DU's wind up's?

I wonder if this means Spazmo will come back. I miss Spazmo. And Ghetto Goose. Those two were laff riots.

Looks like just a hoax and holiday fun but you never know? Perhaps you should pray.

I sense butthurt incoming. Perhaps DAC should brace itself for the imminent waves of refugees and tranny enthusiasts. salute

EDIT: Also, why isn't this a news-story? We should gloat while we can. icon_giggle

I'd rather not see those unwashed masses congeal upon our already foetid shores. icon_drunk

I wouldn't worry. They're probably swarming iron tower forums. Most of the next gen crowd will probably rather adapt to bioware or tes forums than visit our pirate cove. icon_chew

EDIT: Strike that, seems everyone went to this one thread at rpgwatch:

Crazy ass topic. I'm not even sure who the trolled and who the trolls are anymore. You guys don't mind if I lurk around here, do you ? What with the codex down and all...

Hey guys.

We're currently Occupying RPGWatch's cesspool, but thanks for the concern.

We may have to migrate here for a while I suppose, but as for now the admins there seem to be tolerating us well enough.

I have to say, though; this is a fine-looking place you got here...
