Mortin, the owner, has thrown in the towel and is selling the domain and software (but no data/content) on ebay. There's certainly been some controversy about that site in the past but it's never good to see a community broken up like that and someone's hard work go up in smoke. In case you're wondering, OCAU's database is backed up every night and regularly transferred offsite.
