Don't worry guys they are not gone for good.
Their ISP was forced to take them down by the Ukranian government where they host their trackers, Interpol had hounded them to do it.
Anonymous are on the case though DDOSing the Ukranian authorities websites in revenge, lol.
Demonoid say they have to do some work on all of their systems and files and they will be back a.s.a.p.
You can find most of the demonoid uploaders on torrentfreak and thepiratebay until they come back so you don't have to miss out.

Don't be so sure. While it’s undoubtedly been a turbulent couple of weeks for Demonoid, its loyal users still had hope that one day the site might return. However, today the chances of that happening appear to have been cut from an optimistic 50/50 to much, much less. All key Demonoid domains are now up for sale to the highest bidder, signaling what could be the start of the end of an era.

Demonoid's servers may have been closed off, but the site's administrator appears to still be at large. The source noted that the site's management is located in Mexico. In fact, the admin declared late last week that Demonoid would be back, eventually.

The general consensus is that Demonoid did not break Ukranian law. In fact, the site went to extreme measures to avoid the wrath of local authorities: it blocked all Ukranian IP addresses. Nevertheless, it is believed that the U.S. got involved, and suddenly Ukraine started looking into the torrent site.

On Friday, Ukraine's Interior Ministry announced that the site was taken down the night before its First Deputy Prime Minister Valeriy Khoroshkovsky arrived in the U.S. to discuss matters with United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk. One of the issues on the docket was, unsurprisingly, intellectual property rights. In fact, this was the first matter mentioned in their joint statement, which was released by the Office of the United States Trade Representative:

As I am certain that there are many more Americans for P2P and Torrents than against, everyone should protest.
