Congrats to Kyle, being acquired is no easy feat.

Now for some speculation:

My guess is that Forrst wasn't growing as much as it used to or stopped growing all-together and people started getting nervous. (I noticed fewer activity by its users).

Looking at the alexa numbers, its popularity peaked in the middle of 2011. Pageviews took a huge dive since then, which is extremely alarming. Obviously Alexa isn't 100% accurate, but it gives a decent estimation on where the site is trending.
