Wasn't OffSet bought up by Intel as a way to showcase that new graphics chip(?) they were working on but scrapped recently? It wouldn't surprise me if the closing of the forums is a delayed reaction/response to development on the new chips ceasing. Always the way with Indie developments that get bought up by big corporations, they *are not* doing you any favours, despite the six or seven figures buyout, they will drop you as soon as their bottom line tells them to.
