So, either Haruhi season 2, or it's licensed.
Since www.haruhi.tv is "down" as well (showing a fake 404 message) with an
HTML comment containing a quote from novel 4, I'm guessing it's the former.

But why advertise through _ENGLISH_ Anime sites? It's not just
animeondvd, but ANN (ANN says their editorial dept is not allowed to ask
their ad & sales dept who bought the ads O_o).
And the fact there's still significant Japanese text on the site (the
copyright, etc.) leads me to think it's not ADV, and definitely not Viz.
The copyright in Japanese really puzzles me though. I know American
companies always show the copyright in English.
All I can say is: "Gabo! GABO! GABO!!!"
P.S. Whoever it is is hiding behind a web hosting company in PA because
the domain registration only lists them as the contact & owner.

If it is licensed... *Does the Haruhi dance*

I hadn't noticed that. I suppose it could be both, really. The
asosbrigade.com being about it having been licenced, and the haruhi.tv
"disappearance" for an announcement of season 2.
Interestingly, there are a few pages still up on haruhi.tv, namely the
fanclub and all its sub-pages (http://www.haruhi.tv/fanclub/) and Yuki's SOS
Dan member page (http://www.haruhi.tv/member_yuki.html) with another quote
from novel 4. All the other pages that a Google "site:haruhi.tv" search
finds are gone.
Since today, two links have appeared on Yuki's page, one being an
application to join the literature club, and one apparently being the list
of books she's rented. Also there's an HTML comment on her page that I
can't quite make out, but it seems to say something like "Finally revenge!
Glory to the Computer Research Society!"
Maybe it's just Kadokawa re-enacting events from the novels, similar to what
they've done to the site when Mysterique Sign was airing.

Yes, that's a bit weird. And the HTML comment in the source of
http://asosbrigade.com/ saying "禁則事項は１２月２２日に公表します。" or
"Classified information, to be made available on Dec 22nd."

It's a proxy registration, so you could in principle email the domain owner
at least, but I doubt you'd get a reply.

The domain seems to be hosted in the US (by Hurricane Electric), the
title says "North America", and it's linked on animeondvd.com. IMHO
neither of these hints at a second season announcement. I was suspecting
that animeondvd.com could've been defaced, but since the page is still
up that's becoming less likely by the minute.

Chris B. implied that he'd made those changes himself, so he's obviously
had a quiet word from the instigator.

Now the fan-site sos-dan.com (as well as .net and .org) has been taken over
too and points to the same server as asosbrigade.com. The site on the old
server is modified to show the same thing too.
I hope that doesn't mean they threatened the owner of sos-dan.com to do
this, that would be majorly uncool.

It's official now, Kadokawa USA is the license holder.
Go to http://asosbrigade.com// and read the error message in the counter
script: "URL: http://asosbrigade.com// is not in auth database:
/home/kadousa/public_html/db/Authdb".
At least it's not 4kids :p

Looks like they fixed the problem in the counter script now.
But the truth is out!

The only thing I've seen announced is vol. 3 of the radio dramas to be
released on CD.

I don't think so. The KyoAni site is up with nothing special to report.
The latest news is just production diary comments by Kuronekoman related to
a TV special and some marketing/merchandising info.

Hopefully, it was a friendly favor request. :-)

Hmmmm.... Kadokawa was being coy at their last American con panel. I
am curious to know how well they'll handle it, and if they'll bring
over the novels too.
(FYI, Kadokawa published the original young-adult novels and the
mangas).

There's also this line in the page's HTML source code:
<!-- It is coming soon Haruhiism forever North America -->
This text is not visible on the page.
