"GLHF will be undergoing a revival of sorts over the coming weeks as we have decided to rebuild your favorite Game Bar from the ground up. We want to provide a beautiful, and fun environment for our entire community that has done so much for us. To do that correctly it will take time. GLHF will return because of all of you."

The gaming area will also continue to stream live gaming events where gamers can "watch on twitch in your very own private booth," according to the post.
