After months of speculation and rumor, the Kids are coming back. A well-placed source tells PEOPLE exclusively that New Kids On The Block are indeed getting back together.

The band's Web site, www.nkotb.com, which had been dormant, is now back up and running in anticipation of the official announcement, which the source says will be made in the next few weeks.

The site currently features a television graphic with a fuzzy, flickering photos of NKOTB in their heyday, and a link inviting fans to sign up for info.

The boy band, which made legions of tweens swoon in the early '90s, selling more than 50 million albums, became a worldwide phenomenon before calling it quits in 1994.

Eighteen years later, they're still "Hangin' Tough." The oldest "Kid," Jonathan Knight, now a real estate developer, will turn 40 later this year. Since the band's demise, former members Donnie Wahlberg, 38, and Joey McIntyre, 35, have seen acting success, while Danny Wood, 38, has worked as a music producer and Knight's brother, Jordan, 37, has continued to record.

LMAO...old ass men! I imagine a short concert because of their old age issues...guys forgetting the words, tugging oxygen tanks, standing on walkers! (just kidding)

I remember giving my older cousin crap over her crushes on the "new kids" years ago. I guess I'll foward her this intel to reharsh the good natured ribbing.

I can not believe it. I can not believe it has been that long. Wow I am old. I loved Joe. I just downloaded songs. And my boyfriend was laughing at me about it.

ok...seeing as how I am severly outnumbered I will bow out gracefully.

Ya'll have fun with your decades old crushes lol

It's really been 18 years?! I can't believe it! That means I was only 7 years old when I was in love with Joey MacIntyre... I don't remember being that young when they were together! Yikes!!!!!

I must admit that I am not excited about their reunion and agree with SE when he says it should be interesting to see old men doing some shitty boy band songs and dance.

I remember these guys, but I wasn't really a fan.

My Great Aunt and Donnie Wahlberg had a hate fest going on until he moved off her street.
