The server AUC is on is getting re-organized, but the content won't go
away.

I spoke with Troy (troy_s) and Pascal (klepas) who are stake-holders on
that server. I think the reason the notice is there is because there
were too few  site-admins handling the queue of incoming art.

The site is actually immensely busy with over 5000 page views per day in
June. My personal feeling is that while some artists want to help out
with specs and themes, some just want to submit wall-paper options and
this site is a good artistic outlet.

However if no one is available to be admins then redirecting people to
gnomelook may be the only option.
