ClumsyOrchid is a low level Sega employee, he doesn't know anymore than us about this. He's just following Sega Forums policy to squash rumor threads. You can't talk about anything there.
I actually agree with Clumsy on this: they should present a "cease and desist" order if Sega actually sent them one. Or tell the real reason why they shutdown. It will be easy to find a new host anyways. Hell, here I am

I don't know who BrianHolzhuer is, but you can ask him to come here.
