Did anyone have a look at the (html) source? What does this comment mean?

Maybe mtgox has been acquired by another party?

It's gone now. Something odd I noticed, though: I was testing to see if going to https://www.mtgox.com/img/ would serve up a directory listing and, while it doesn't, it redirects to https://www.mtgox.com/data/mtgox_off/img/ and displays a 404.

If you request https://www.mtgox.com/foobar, it doesn't redirect but displays the same 404.

If you request https://www.mtgox.com/data/mtgox_off/img/mtgox_logo_mail.png, it loads the image, so that's definitely a valid directory, and the shorter version (https://www.mtgox.com/img/mtgox_logo_mail.png) is probably just being rewritten.

I wonder if there's anything accessible in the / or /data dirs.

Just noticed that as well; that's weird indeed. Would that mean we'd actually see it being acquired?

I think we're being trolled :)
