Where did you hear those rumours, Juanca?
At the moment all we know is that it's down.
AFAIK there has been so statement from Sarinee (alias Underdogs, ie the site's founder) or any crew members on the matter yet.
Though, with the way HOTU has been gathering dust for over two years, it seems like an even toss to me.

It has been said, the car is moving, but anybody is driving it.
However I hope the site will be online again.

All that is based on the assumption that HOTUs downtime is due to the hosting bills being unpaid, which doesn't neccesarily have to be the case. There's a number of different possibilities.
