Heres the story folks, a month ago one of the methlabs staff Cerberius
whos real name is William Erwin re-registered the domain Methlabs to himself, he was able to do this as a trusted member of the Methlabs team, his responsibility was for the sites server and he was also charge of funding for the sites upkeep.

No one is sure why he has taken this action but, at the moment he is making all sorts of ludicrus allegations against all the other members of the team using the site as a platform.

One thing must be made clear here, there is no divide amongst the Methlabs folks this guy is acting alone and no other member of the methlabs staff are with him now, so the site is totally compromised, except for the areas that the team where able to delete from the server including all the members records, so rest easy that your info is safe.

Now to the good news ...

The sites founder and main programmers are using the open source facilities of sourceforge to host from as gibz mentioned and the program can be obtained from there still, the list should be set to not automaticly update

There are backups for the site and luckily the william erwin does not have these, he is currently asking folks to re-register at the site claiming a staff revolt
The team have also stated that any further info from themselves will carry their names so look out for these

Cory Nelson - Programmer of PG2
Tim Leonard - Co Founder of the site
Ken McKelland - Co- Founder of the site
Joseph Farthing - Publicity officer for methlabs

As you can see it would be hard for the site founders to steal there own server

here is the announcement from the sourceforge site
