gleemax is dead.

I am not sure if the forums are going away or not, but WotC has announced that they are abandoning gleemax. Unfortunately gleemax is down, just like it has been every day for the last month, so I can not really link to the article.

Randy B has posted a blog indicating that the Gleemax Blogs site will be going away in September so that WotC can refocus their energies on Magic Online and D&D Insider.

So, does this mean that the WotC forums are completely kaput now?

I would point out that I am generally unable to load the forums 90% of the times I try to reach them.

Thanks for the link. In the comments:

Ok, I'd like one thing cleared up: Does this mean the forums are going away as well? I'd really hate to lose the message boards because I've made quite a few friends there. I think it would be a mistake to lose the WotC message boards.

The forums are alive and well, and maintenance of them will actually get more resources thanks to this decision. (They will probably migrate off of gleemax.com and back to wizards.com, but that's the only change I expect.)

A migration back that will cause more links to be broken... joy.

Sometimes, it feels good to laugh at someone else's *self-inflicted* "misfortunes", especially if it is someone you don't like. It is therepeutic.

Yes, yes, this thread was posted before mine, but I think this belongs in the D&D area.  Let's just keep it all in one thread.
