Now it says:

Ok, we put that in the title above. Submitted title was "YTMND has shut down". Thanks!

Seems you're the only person that tried actually going to the website, where this message is prominently displayed.
When this was originally posted, there was no message; the page just didn't load.

to be fair, i went there, saw rip and didn't read further :)
But I went to ytmnd.com and it was giving some PHP database errors.
And now they have a status message:
> rip db
>YTMND is down for temporary maintenance. This gives us time to optimize the database, free up unused space, deploy new features, and generally just break stuff. This should not take very long, so feel free to stick around and chat or go away. If you have any trouble accessing the site, or concerns about the direction in which your life is heading, feel free to send an email to support @ ytmnd.com (and expect to be ignored).
edit: It seems this is all very poor reporting. Gizmodo, et al have jumped on the story. YTMND has shut down!
All based on some speculation on a forum because the site was down for a while?
