*ROFL* You expect FASA's website to be current? That's funny...

As I understand it, most FASA personnel are of the overworked and underpaid
variety (who isn't, but they're worse than normal) and they do not have a
full time webmaster. So the site gets updated when someone happens to have
the spare time and inclination.

As to whether news of the intention to buy out would even be considered for
posting to the website, that's another question. My answer would be no.
Geocities, for example, a place where it's online presence is EVERYTHING,
didn't mention Yahoo!'s intention to buy until the deal had almost been
completed. Why worry people needlessly, eh? There's little or nothging
they can do about it anyway.
