up with only one page: their final departing words, a 4 paragraph statement. There was no access to any of the tabs from the site. In their statement they claimed that "...to this date, we have not received any threatening letters, but are closing on our own volition. Mxtabs was reopened in February with the hope of receiving some sort of response; with the lack of that response, it is sadly time to close.".
