I thought it was NOT shutting down and is instead turning into 100% a news site only?
Functionally speaking the distinction is negligible. Users won't be able to download patches from the site, and new patch submissions won't be accepted.
People also used RHDN as a news source to find out about new hacks and translation releases, and it was the best resource for doing that. And it sounds like it still will be going forward, so... I disagree with you on that.
