Present State
From November 2006 to June 17, 2008, Zophar's Domain was inactive. Michaels has stated that it should be considered an "archive." In its prime, it was generally regarded as an excellent news resource, reporting on every area of emulation development. It had high coverage and popularity according to Alexa.
On November 9, 2006, Zophar's Domain's 10-year anniversary, the site was voluntarily closed. Michaels promptly received an outpouring of support, proving that the site has a loyal fanbase, and restored the site for the foreseeable future after approximately 12 hours.
The logo was modified in late September 2006 and a cat was added sitting on the logo, on the insistence of several forumers.
On June 17, 2008, a message on the site replaced the one stating archival, claiming that Zophar's Domain would be re-opening, and anyone interested in helping update the site should contact the webmaster, as well as the addition of a new forum system replacing the outdated WWWThreads.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or state:
“There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Realizing that his time was nearly spent, he gave full oral instructions about his burial and the manner in which he wished to be remembered.... A few minutes later, feeling very tired, he left the room, remarking, ‘I have no disposition to leave this precious circle. I love to be here surrounded by my family and friends.’ Then he gave them his blessing and said, ‘I am ready to go and I wish you goodnight.’”
—For the State of New Hampshire, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
