What happened to MPC Gamers?

I started out on the MPCGamers site long before Jedikiller decided to hang things up and this site was spun off from it. It got me wondering: what happened to that place? Does it still exist at all?
All mods on indefinite hold

JK would know the final disposition, but it split into this site and Creative Matrix, which was was shut down after a couple of years.

Our full history was the Wei Li (weili) started us off as a mac focused SWBF board, then MacXgamers, MPCgamers with JediKiller, then SWBFgamers.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet

I'd be curious to know if Jedikiller or someone has an archive of the site, though I have to admit I'm not sure if that is possible with a forum.

It is interesting though, looking at some old captures of the site on the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine:

Sure, since Led formed SWBFGamers out of MPCGamers in a way SWBFGamers is an archive of it. For instance here is the first topic linked in the side bar of the web archive link you posted http://www.swbfgamers.com/index.php?topic=1695.

Yep, the skin is different, but the database was transferred to SWBFgamers, so it contains those posts.  I believe, however, that MacXgamers content was lost in a crash.

BTW, here is Creative Matrix
https://web.archive.org/web/20110203004127/http://mpcgamers.com/

the SWBF1 redirect on that page went to SWBFgamers.com

and here is the old macxgamers
