It's really cool how the spirograph is a CSS animation!!
I checked the website to see if it worked for me. That's so cool! That must mean the site's gonna relaunch soon! :D

The source code for the SVG has this in it:
<title id="loaderTitle">Homestuck will be relaunching soon!</title>
We are so back

Exciting Exciting!!! Got a group of pals who I'm doing a read along with a la book club discussions as the rerelease goes
it's a mix of old heads and new, (some of us have been around since the start and others will be reading for the first time) and I'm so fuckin JAZZED about it this webcomic played such a huge part in my life over a decade ago and here it is once again like it hardly ever left...
I know the crew said we were still some days out from relaunch, have we gotten any further news since, offhand or otherwise?
I've been staring at the new Loading Screen and can't help but to notice that the background looks similar to one of the Wizard Pictures found here:

Doing some more snooping around the website.
The spirograph is actually an animated SVG (you can do that?) and the "Homestuck will be relaunching soon!" text is the title of the SVG image file.
The favicon is also an SVG but doesn't have any secrets.)
Basically everything else is a 404 page
The preview image for OpenGraphs (for displaying embeds on Discord, etc) links to this file: https://www.homestuck.com/homestuckog.jpg
A few lines in the CSS code attempt to load an unused font: @font-face { font-family: "carima"; src: url(carima.ttf); }. carima.ttf 404s, but based on the name it's the font used for the names of worlds, and the same font that the "Loading..." image uses.
Interesting...
HE IS
ABSOLUTELY
KILLED!!!!
@1111, that OpenGraphs preview image was a great find! I didn't know SVG favicons were a thing :O
Interesting that they decided to use a PNG for the "LOADING" text instead of an SVG or even just plain text using the aforementioned CSS font.
