There's a thread on Reddit going on about this too: www.reddit.com/r/bodybuilding/comments/5...or_visited_datbtrue/ .

Someone posted a good comment there on why he might have shut it down so suddenly. It could be that he didn't have much faith in all the research he had done, his illness still progressed to the point it's at now. Who knows, he may have thought that his use of the IGF-1 LR3 hastened the illness?

So he could have pulled the plug with the notion that other people don't get misinformed on the benefits of IGF-1, etc.

Unfortunately I don't believe that anybody was able to archive the site. He closed it down yesterday - one day earlier than originally planned - quite possibly to prevent anybody from doing this.

It's sad that such a vast body of knowledge contributed by Dat - as well as many others - could very well be lost.

Losing not only this knowledge, but the person behind it all, is a terrible blow to all of humanity.

As of today, www.datbtrue.co.uk has been wiped off the DNS database. It's not coming back, even temporarily.

As for archiving the site, this is being done by his moderators and they intend to get forum members onto another forum.
I have no reason to doubt good faith of Datbtrue.

We don't know yet though, whether admin rights were given to the moderators so that they can retrieve the content. Some people have said that this wasn't done, hence the topic of this thread.

I should have stated more clearly that the topic is more about why the content wasn't allowed to continue, as in, to be moved to another site. We all know that the original site was being shut down.
