Message this morning on their site reads::
Where is Snarf-It? Your guess is as good as ours, at some point last night our database servers disappeared, and we really mean disappeared. The data centre where they are stored is not telling us anything and they are not replying to our calls or emails. We are at this point quite paranoid and thinking the worst (possibly that the servers have been siezed), we just don’t know. We are preparing to take flight to Havana where our new lives await us under Fidel’s regime (he want’s to open a Cuban torrent site to piss of the White House).
We will update this page as we find out information but you can count on 1 thing, we will be back and it will be soon, we have had safeguards in place for situations like this for some time. Please excuse us as we now have a plane to catch….
What happened is anybody’s guess at this point but, I’m sure it involved the “long arm” of the law.

READ ALL ABOUT IT! Our downtime certainly has caused a few people to freak out relax take it easy. We haven’t been raided but we have lost our RAID so we are rebuilding some indexes and transferring them to the new server which has 6 x 36gb raptors in RAID 50 that should help us should this happen again. We plan to be back for the weekend we can’t have you torrentfreaks going cold turkey now can we!
Seriously though thank you all for your concern and emails when the shit hit the fan it was nice to have words of encouragement from our users makes it all worthwhile
. Lastly we have decided that the Snarf does indeed have a place with Snarf-It still and as such we will install him back on the site as it’s mascot see you soon!

I hated snarf-it. I couldnt take it seriously with the mass amounts of crap that was in the site.
