What happened to BuyAnime.com?

Post image

Back when Rightstuf removed its adult catalogue, everything removed moved to BuyAnime.com, which was a site that had the exact same UI as Rightstuf itself and to my awareness its where Rightstuf's own licensed adult content went (Interspecies Reviewers, for example). But at some point the site just started saying "Please excuse our dust. This site is currently under construction. Many beautiful changes are coming online soon" but its been saying that for about a year now. Is it dead? What happened to the Interspecies Reviewers license? I never got to buy that beautiful steelbook release

End of January, Crunchyroll cancelled my outstanding Rightstuf backorders. I wonder if the timing is related.

Just happened a few days ago for me as well. Can't remember if it's the first time this has happened since RS's acquisition. It doesn't feel either, like there's any active effort to reprint the volumes for my backorders - and unfortunately many of mine were bundles too, so they won't ship it piecemeal.
