Mooncoin is back.
no response in irc yet.. a couple people ave said he responded to emails recently.. I really have zero reason to suspect mr_moon of anything right now. he has been very helpful to people in the recent past. that doesnt mean people cant change or cant suddenly need the money, but mr_moon seems like a good guy and has been very available and quick to help people with lost coins and has been working on improving his exchange.
I suspect what ever happened, it was out of his control

most likely their will be some bad news, as I hear mr_moon is still answering pms and emails now and then. If comcast turned off his net,, well for one his irc nick wouldnt still be online and for two I would expect him first thing to come into the forums and explain that fact, especially after the mybitcoin fiasco.PANIC!!!!!
Hmm, good points. Is he responding in IRC?

I'm betting hack but of course this is all conjecture as i have very little info, it could just as easily be that mr coin has a hangover from partiing all weekend and hasnt gotten to rebooting his server.
But in the mean time... PANIC!!!!!
As for the forewarning from .. what you expect us to do? go to an exchange that has zero volume? or just not mine solidcoins

I sent him a PM along with a duplicate Email this morning. Let's see if he actually replies :-/
Internet outage would be the best possible outcome 
California - Sacramento - Comcast Cable Communications <--- That's the "host" for the server IP in the whois, so he is probably running the site at his home connection. Internet outage, maybe?
Comcast has been known to "encourage" (read: shut down) users who are discovered to be operating commercial sites to upgrade to business accounts.

Why in the world would he skip town with a bunch of our SCs though? What does he expect to do with them, buy a bunch of memberships on Lorna-Morgan.com?
You're assuming he hasn't been quietly converting his reserves to BTC on his own exchange. I wonder if there's any evidence for or against this out there...
There are tons of explanations, simple or complex. And there is no predetermined future for moonco.in. Just remember of mtgox: it was compromised, but it is alive for now. Lets wait and don't panic.
Panic? PANIC!!! AAAA!!!

Everybody needs to chill out. A couple weeks ago the website had intermittent outages due to faulty hardware. While being completely down is different, a hardware issue or a problem with hosting is the simplest explanation. He's still idling in his IRC channel which doesn't really say anything, but would he stick around if he "left"?
I'm a mod on the website for the StarCraft II and Football bets (yes, the website is more than an exchange) and in our interactions Mr Moon has been a really good guy. Granted, I don't know him any better than any other person I've met on the internet, but I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
So the reasonable thing to do is wait until you level more ridiculous accusations at Moonco.in.

PM'd MrMoon asking if they would like to issue a site press release / announcement via BitcoinMedia.com regarding the site, just as an alternate venue to speak on any site issues or the future, as sometimes it seems like when people try and have good intentions on these forums, they will get shit on no matter what
Thank you.

well, is there any message from him then?
Not as yet but it would be nice if he made a statement.

Don't forget moonco.in is much more than just a solid coin exchange. They also do bets and poker as well as host a namecoin exchange. A lot of people had a lot of coins there BTC/SLC/NMC and will be worried about getting their coins back. I do regret not making some donations to help fund the site but at the same time that probably wouldn't have stopped that problem from happening at at this stage there is no official word on what has happened. I'm hoping it was some kind of recoverable hardware or software problem and that Mr Moon is working to bring it back up.
if moonco.in is gonna be down, SolidCoin will be dead as well.
i think they have got about 800 000SC
nobody will want to buy SC in that situation.
RIP.
it's already 0,008 on btc-e.com

I have send him a PM to ask if the exchange is coming back but he hasn't replied as yet but it was only an hour ago. I think he has PM'd a few people. I would like to hear something good.
Mr. Moon has been away for less than 1 Day now...
Thats not a good Reason to claim he has been running away with our coins.
