We had a highly popular thread not long ago about XY Magazine and its fate. There has been concern over issues that never came in the mail and if the magazine was still even around. Now we see that the main website of xy.com, a prime domain name and listed in the top 600k sites in the world is down. Xy.com featured personals, chat, and listings of clubs and businesses.

I emailed a few emails I had on hand for the staff over at Xy and had no reply. I assume either someone has purchased the site from the magazine’s owner or they can simply not afford hosting anymore. With the dismiss of many websites and news organizations in 2009, we are not sure what to expect.

Some of the traffic on Xy goes over to YGA Mag, which stands for the Young Gay America Magazine. This is a magazine that I have not seen printing that often and not getting the circulation that XY once had in bookstores across America. The neat thing about XY is that it was at the Barnes and Noble in Mid-America where that gay youth could find something to feel good about and give them hope. It was great to be able to find a treasure like XY at a local bookstore in nowhere, America.
