This is certainly a dark day for POTCO fans but one that is not unexpected. With no updates for 2 years and the game going downhill it's not surprising they are shutting it down. Although I had hoped they would keep it going because of the next 2 POTC movies in the works. Maybe, just maybe they will make a new and improved POTCO in time for the 5th movie's release? Everyone said the current running program was outdated and easily hacked. Could it be possible that they also understood that all too well and just decided to scrap this version and start fresh???? I'm going to hold out hope that one day a new and better POTCO will be announced........
