Why does Game Rankings redirect to gamespot?

Did Gamespot buy them and shut the site down?

I guess they can afford to kill the compatition since the only reviewers they have these days are fan boys that wander in off the street and can be intimidated into giving high scorers to garbage.

Yea now when you go there there it re-dirrects to metric after this message;

'Whoops. GameRankings is currently undergoing maintenance. In the mean time, please check out our sister site, Metacritic.com, for aggregated game reviews. Thanks for your patience. We hope to be back up soon.'
