“The site will be going private on March 23”

What does that mean exactly? It’s not the same as going down? Will there be a way to access it?

    now it says:

    The site will be going private on March 23.

    Edit: It’s very sad people think we are removing filecrypt links or worse infecting game installers with malware. After all the countless hours spent into maintaining the site, most people don’t appreciate it.

    well, idk who thinks that but they’re clearly wrong. I’ve never gotten malware from it and it’s even on the megathread…

      I think that addition is mostly interesting because it shows the mindset of the site’s owners - they feel bitter and put-upon, like they’ve put a bunch of work into the site and gotten little or nothing back. Maintaining the site must be a lot of work. Not that surprising that they’d decide to go private, I guess.
