PSOW is not dead. As a member, and regular forum poster, I can tell you the reason behind why it is down.
The server PSOW was on at gamespy was recently hacked by some moron, causing psow's server to go down. While it was down, gamespy decided to do the entire server. Currently, it is only half way up. PSOW is missing it's mysql databases. What is mysql? Mysql is a database system that stores all the information for guides, and phpbb (the forums that psow uses). So hence, without this mysql up, PSOW can't reach any of it's information, and is virtually useless for this time being.
