Link is to a 4chan /v/ thread about the shutdown of both the Stormforge and Turtle WoW server groups today.
Turtle offered a Classic Extended experience running what I think might have been a Wrath client but still remaining in Vanilla content, so no TBC, no Wrath, although there were additional races such as High Elves for the Alliance, and Jews~ Goblins for Horde.
There is a long history of drama surrounding the lead devs of Turtle WoW, and some of the claims made in that thread appear to suggest it was downright retardedness that may have brought them down as previously little had been done about their presence.
bought youtube ads and @'d blizzard on twatter
Stormforge was currently running in Wrath from what I can see albeit with additional features and raids, something many private servers have done when not just running their own versions of older content.
Whether other servers are going to be affected remains to be seen.

Running Youtube ads and poking the bear on Twitter by @blizzard tweets. Would have just been a matter of time until Blizzard went after them but that idiocy fueled by pure greed hastened their demise.
