They closed due to upkeep costs.
EDIT: Here's the full message:
You know, it hurt at first but i think im happier that they went down while at the top of the game. Especially when you look at whats become of TPB and now 1337x apparently
TPB is not a valuable tracker anymore, but it's a huge political statement, nobody is bringing them down and i respect that.
It's the better choice. If you hand it off to someone else, there's a risk they'll change the tone/content/character of the site and make it worse.
It's one of the major reasons baconBits shut down, they didn't trust handing it off to anyone else. They didn't want to see it become a shell of its former self (which it sort of already had, because of an accident that deleted hundreds of torrents a few years before the shutdown), and they gave a good long timeline for winding down, giving people ample warning.
aww thats too bad...
