Okay, who has seen this coming... Twitch has announced that it has acquired Curse.. (https://blog.twitch.tv/twitch-and-cur…cf91#.3s2twdhjs).
Not sure what this means for their websites, but I'll guess we'll see what this brings...

Curse bought by Twitch

I bought Curse. I owned Twitch for about 3 years, and when they shut guru down I decided to do something about it. Now I own curse, I'm shutting gw2guru, and re-opening guru, with no ads. You're welcome.

Curse has always been something that has flown under the radar for me as my only MMO game ever was GW but they seem to be most active for other games.
Their application similar to Discord seemed interesting but they must have something going for them to be acquired by Twitch (which is owned by Amazon iirc).
Are they into that kind of client chat resource or is it more fan websites and forums, wikis etc?I wonder what new avenue it leads to for them or if they are just letting them continue to operate as normal.

What will happen to the archived guru content now?
-
Should there still be some doubts left, after all supplied hints? It'll be good if it remains online until the end of this year.
On the other hand, they have actually lent a considerably long time window for all those who were interested in compiling an offline version of the entire forum.

can still be done, since its still around....someone just has to do it (and not me--I would manage to break it or delete it so dont let me even try).
I knew something was up with curse, just didnt know they were getting bought out.

In fact, I've managed to archive about 95% of it and am saving the remaining 5% in the form of middle 2007 descending to year 2005 Sell section threads at the moment. The entire backup promises to weight about 20 gigabytes in the zipped form, but chances are high I might be able to temporarily share it with the other Legacy readers via a cloud, once it'll obtain the shape I initially had in mind for it to supply convenient reading. It should be expected to be done within a month or so.

Could I apply for a copy of that please Smoke?

I hope there'll be an opportunity to exchange that copy on a larger scale, not only with a few selected users. It still needs time to be finalized, though, as it's so far being downloaded and something will also have to be sorted out inside the archive's basic order of folders, so that it's not going to contain 15 unnecessary ones within its root (and that means more than 300,000 file changes to refer to varying image directories). At the same time, I'd like to notify everyone beforehand that chances are low it'll be available the next month, as I'm about to move out of town until the beginning of October, and the inbound and outbound traffic will be considerably limited for me on 4G connection.
