I dont think so. They are going to retire the trademarks and everything.
They aparantly want to totally dump the site and all related materials and
not let someone else have it. Things might change, but this is how I
understand it at the moment. I hope I am wrong. Nonetheless someone should
have all the material and be able to repackage it on another site. Are the
entire contents of AWD on any CDs?
