Yes i also left a lot of coins there and now looking at the good price a couple of hours ago i intended to sell them only to find this in the google cached version of the page:
"I0 Guild is being taken offline after the 24 hours of warning was posted at 7:03 AM (PDT) on 8/22/11. The pool is still running to try to get payouts confirmed. The pool will turn off in a few hours once the last payout has enough confirms to reach the exchange.

I0 Guild may return at a later time, if the currency shows any signs of revival."

Warning?Couldnt you send an email at least to consider it warning?

Yeah, and the prior notice did mention the site would go down for relocation but didnt tell people to stop mining and withdraw all their coins.... In fact it implied the pool and mining would continue... Either way, the bug in the I0coin code hit later and made transactions impossible to perform so it was a moot point.

Of course it's up to the pool operator to decide whether or not spend the effort to turn it back on. Given that it seemed there weren't really into IO coin (other than as a ixcoin protest move)... I'd just assume those earlier mined coins are gone unless we get word to the contrary. Of course, if the IO coin exchange rate attracts a noticeable hashing rate and the other pools drop in strength that might lead them to reconsider.
