[pp.int.general] Library.nu is dead

[Carlos Diaz (cedpren)]

About a month ago I received a mail from support at library.nu saying:
"Make sure to visit and bookmark gigapedia.info and visit for any news
if library.nu appears to be down or you need to login into the site.
Regards Library.nu admin". So, maybe there is hope of the site coming
back to live with another domain name.
