It;s unfortunate, but rumors are running rampant while solid information is in short supply. from what I've been able to gather, the server is still up, but is refusing connections. Pretty much everything else seems to be pure speculation, and you know how speculation runs among the conspiracy minded.
I snagged all the content, threads and such, that I wanted from there some time ago, when sales were being discussed. Other folks seem to have not been as fortunate.
What is concerning to me is that the new owners, whomever they may be, have not released any information on the outage. That seems a bad business to me. I understand they want to remain in the shadows, but there are ways to get information out that don't expose your identity, and they seem to be taking advantage of none of those avenues. In my mind, that can't be a good sign. It's my understanding that even the mods over there got blindsided, and that sends up a whole new level of alarm to me. As long as it has been down, you'd thing that someone would have contacted them through backchannels like email or something.
So, I dunno. Enjoy your time here in your new home!

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
