Why is OWF disappearing? Why doesn't it just stay as the website it currently is? Why would anyone want to take it down?
No one wants to take it down, but no-one is motivated enough to keep it running. The forums are running on an ancient version of vBulletin, which utilises a very old version of PHP, and at a certain point our servers are going to stop supporting it. And the task to update vBulletin will take a long time and a lot of effort and no-one can be all that much bothered for a place that gets no traffic.
