Is the Demise of Guzzlefish Now Official?
Well, it's been about a month, and I've been unable to connect to Guzzlefish. I am assuming the site is gone forever, as many have suspected. Anyone heard any differently from other sources?

Now that the sig issue has [kinda] been resolved, looks like i'll have to take that dead link off..

C|Net bought out Guzzlefish to get the code. They ported it over to mp3.com, you can store your collection there.

From what I know, Guzzlefish was bought by CNET, but they havent figured out what they plan to do with it. So yes. Its basically dead until further notice.

What a waste. They were a good site back in the day. That's why I use DVDProfiler (priimary site), DVDAficionado and DVDSpot. Never hurts to have multiple backups. It's a shame someone didn't snatch up GuzzleFish and, if nothing else, steal the code for some other purpose.
