about a week or so ago, the lead mod at SBR made a cryptic post where he/she said something to the effect that patience was going to be needed over the next several days, weeks or even months.
Even though the mods probably didn't know everything, I do believe they knew that there would be some sort of down time that may be significant. No way this is a DOS, the date and time was determined some time ago. There is a lot more that we will never know but they were put in a terrible position and I put the blame strictly on new ownership. Hopefully the new owners bought all of the assets and liabilities and they will make the members owed prizes whole.
It's looking lime BMR may be a solid alternative
