Hi there dolfinator!
From what I've been able to find on the web, the main theory is the shutdown is connected to a copyright infringement lawsuit by ALS Scan.
Image hosters are being accused of hosting copyrighted images.
Possible that closing is easier than fighting a lawsuit.
Typing into Google:
ALS Scan lawsuit Imagebam
Brings up a few interesting discussions on the matter.
Hope this is of use!
