Holy cow.

@Henhouse I wonder where it's going :D Inb4 Blizzard/NostalriusTeam cooperation.

I think Blizzard will quit because they can't stay no more to all these crowd flames and Nostalrius will take their place. :)) They wanted someone with potential for throne. (joke xD)

Nostalrius just released some replay tool system that lets your sort of relive some of the moments they recorded on their server. Namely, the shutdown.

They've also stated they're no longer open sourcing their code base, for a few reasons. Mainly, because it will destroy any chances of Blizzard somehow letting them continue, and secondly, because they claim their anticheat system and bot-detection system are quite good and releasing the source code would allow people to re-engineer their hacks/bots and render these systems useless again.
