Basically (so nobody gets confused by Boomer's posting here) the original Portal of Evil (PoE Proper, PoE Red or just Poe to the forum goers) which consisted of an archive of "evil" sites closed when this article was actually news.
Spinoff site PoE-News, which featured "evil" news (basically just another weird news site), was more popular than PoE Proper at the time of its close (as it also featured a variety of general forums for things like Books and Movies, which PoE never really had), but the site owners eventually got bored of it, too, so they left. The new guys in charge tried for a while, then decided to close down. I believe the forums are still up as read only (though I haven't checked in a while, and this is just a comment, not an actual article, so I'm too lazy to look it up), but the main page is now just another redirect site for PoETV, which is an "evil" video site (basically weird YouTube videos); I never had a presence there, but it's the last surviving bit of PoE.
