As a Haruhiist, I believe that probably means the end of the world.

Will it bring peace in the Middle Eastern conflict as well?

There might be hope! Click on the "escape" link on the bottom of the 404 page:

Now can someone translate that?

If you've read Volume 4 of the novels, "The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" (which is the December 18th event that the official website is reflecting), you'd recognize the scene where Kyon discovers the "escape program".

Translation courtesy of Baka-Tsuki wrote:YUKI.N > If you are reading this, I am probably no longer myself.

Remember to hit 'Enter'.

This is another reason why TMoHS needs to come over here. I hope to Haruhi that the asosbrigade.com page leads to an official announcement of a domestic release (anime and novels). I'd love to see these events played out on the english language website.

Oh, wow, my Japanese isn't all as bad as I thought it was. Before reading your translation, Willen, I think I managed to accurately enough translate the first 2 lines XD

Infinity Squared's shoddy Japanese wrote:これをあなたが読んでいる時、わたしはわたしではないだろう。

while you're reading this, i'm probably not here...

このメッセージが表示されたということは、そこにはあなた、わたし、涼宮ハルヒ、朝比奈みくる、古泉一樹が存在しているはずである。

This message indicates the fact that, you, me, Suzumiya Haruhi, Asahina Mikuru, and Koizumi Itsuki are existing, to be.

That was fun

I take no credit for the translation I posted earlier. My own translation got as far as yours and was also as shoddy, if not shoddier.

Yes, but there are also banner ads on AnimeNewsNetwork.com (with original, unflipped SOS Brigade logo and static) that redirect to the new site.

Could still be literally anyone.
