No idea. I'm not an admin. There's a "JackHorner" on the the org that's listed as an admin, but it's not me.
EDIT:
Some additional background -
The story I've read (no idea if true) is that Marfan flipped out because the got doxxed a few different ways. In particular, weev (that hacker dude from Ukraine) had warned Marfan that it was trivially easy to Google Marfan's blog, then use the blog to find Marfan's Twitter account, which leads to his real name.
Me and the Aussie used to duke it out on the regular, but we buried the hatchet. He basically said he wouldn't fuck with me, and he didn't. I think he was just getting a kick out of triggering my paranoid tendencies.
When Marfan pulled the plug, he convinced someone else to host the site. Who that is, is a secret. Some have said it's Burp, but I have my doubts, I don't think he's "a tech guy." I could be wrong.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the site never comes back. I used to run an Internet forum for about 18 months and it is a completely thankless task.
An anecdote:
About twelve years back, Joe Rogan talked about seeing Andrew Dice Clay in Vegas. Rogan said it was really great. I saw Dice in Vegas about the same time. The nightclub was the size of a closet. It was like something out of a David Lynch movie. The entire "club" was about the size of a hotel room and it was really dingy and old. They had a bar but it wasn't even staffed! A waitress from the casino floor came in and took everyone's order. I shit you not, they had a vending machine in the club, and those were the food options. A VENDING MACHINE.
Dice lived in Vegas up until a couple of years ago, and I think that he's so addicted to the spotlight, that he was willing to do these gigs that couldn't possible have paid more than $200, just to be up on stage.
That kind of mentality is what makes a good forum admin. You have to be quite a narcissist to devote dozens of hours every week to running an Internet forum.
Now many would say "Jack you make five hundred posts a week online."
The thing is that's fun. Running an Internet forum is the furthest thing from "fun" that you can imagine. I think Marfan had some megalomania going on, and that's why he hung in there for so long.
Whoever is running The Org now, if they don't have that same irrational compulsion to be a jannie, they may have just got bored and stopped paying the bill. That's exactly how my forum died; it just got to a point where it wasn't worth the hassle.

Part of me always thought perro was him because it was a completely new account. It was only a matter of time anyways. Meanwhile we just got a new station in London.
