Summary of the topic:
It's not entirely clear what's going to happen with Iccup. The general opinion is that it will be back at some new server or whatever. They wouldn't hire new admins if they're gonna close.

I THINK ICCUP is merging with some site/company, something along those lines, the site is changing, the gateway is changing...etc. One ICCUP guy here said that iccup aint going away, and I trust that.

If the website is going down, all these banners and things hinting at iCCup not coming back, I think it's probably a sponsorship. They were still recruiting admins so they won't just disappear and never come back, and with a new sponsorship they would probably have to change names and change the website alot (plus the fact that the website sucked and is probably getting heavy updates right now).

One of the announcments said that they won't update till 1.16.1 comes out.
I support that, it would be foolish to set everything up for 1.16 when we know the new patch will be coming out any day now.
Nice job ICCup so far, keep it that way! (or get even better)

Even if that would be the case, the argument would still be invalid since it takes a while for the webserver to take the page down (usually around a month). Iccup has only been down a couple of minutes.
And what's the point of linking to cache pages? PGT also has cached pages and it's been dead for years now.
The issue as I see now is not that ICCup is dead, because it isn't. Probably just moving the server/updates it.
The issue is about what we should do the next couple of weeks. Blizzard is slow at patching, and I'm not even sure they've realized their error with the latest patch yet. ICCup will probably be down for at least a week to get the new server up/changes done plus they might not start the season until Blizzard has fixed their error in the latest patch.
So there is basically no way to play, I don't think Hamachi works better either. Not sure though, since I haven't tried it (But yeah, you can play with the old patch on Hamachi if worst comes to worst).
BWCL starts soon and it'll be hell to play on Europe like this.

I'm still not gonna update to 1.16 because it blows haha. It's gonna be hard finding games though like this. I kinda liked Iccup for playing meh:[. Hope it comes back soon!
