Portal of Evil going offline has nothing to do with Ben Schumin/Wikipedia grudgefests. The recent deletion of POEs' Wikipedia article, however, was Bens' doing. The official party line on the end of POE is that the site-owners were getting tired of the multitude of death threats and threats of legal action the site still generated. And seeing that the forums were pretty much dead anyway, they pulled the plug.
