What happened to exile.ru?

I know they have been having some political problems lately, but it sounded as though they had solved them. But when I tried to visit today, it wasn't there.

Did they actually get shut down, or have they relocated?

Just tried too and it's still down.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')n June 5, 2008, an article in the Moscow Times reported that the eXile was under investigation by the Russian Federal Service for Mass Media, Telecommunications and the Protection of Cultural Heritage.[6] Ames confirmed the investigation to the Moscow Times, but was unsure of the exact reason, announcing "I get the general sense that they have decided it's time to shut us down, that they're not going to tolerate us anymore." The investigation should result in a decision by June 11, at which time the eXile could receive a warning or have its license revoked, effectively shutting it down.

That's a shame. I got a kick out of the war nerd, though, I'd suspect that some other outlet would pick up his column.

Hooray! I can do without the trappings of modern civilization, but go without a war nerd article for the rest of my life? Hardly seems worth it!
