From their IRC:

Not good news

[TIGodFather]

The tracker is gone :(. For me, this is sad news, it was one of the best considering its activity and encodes, recommended even more than many other old HD trackers. RIP!

definitely my fav for remuxes, great internal releases. any idea where the encode team landed?

[staffrodore]

News is the owner decided to shut it down for personal reasons, wanting to spend time with family etc. he didn't trust or fancy the idea of someone else running the site. So it's gone.

Sad to see trackers disappear just like that, even more when they were appreciated by quite a few users.

I can understand the point of view of the owner, trying to come out clean so that it doesn't affect him and his family.

Though it feels a bit bitter that he was not able to find anyone he deemed trustworthy enough to take his place.

A real shame. RIP HDA. May your users find their ways to greener lands.
