The site’s not dead, as there are still active posts on the forums. It’s the off-season so front page posts are rather sparse now anyways.
Now, let’s say your theory is correct and the site is dead. Given the timing, it would almost be the fitting end to it and the perfect last post. NC State has tried to do things the right way and have not won anything of meaning since about 1989. The neighbors down the road who are our rivals lie, cheat, cover up, fraud, lawyer up, waste tax payer money, etc. and are rewarded with a championship because the NCAA has failed to act on what’s arguably the longest running scandal (both violations and investigation) in my lifetime. They are rotten to the core, deep within the institutional level.
The “adults” that are North Carolina’s elected officials care more about whether the scandal will “impact recruiting” than anything else. At the same time, they’ve pushed NC State down directly and indirectly since Valvano.
As a result, the good guys decide that the game is rigged and close up shop. I’ve long argued that NC State should forfeit every athletic contest with UNC until the NCAA takes action. This would be a small token gesture of something similar.
