Did they shut it down? I have yet to find a source that explains the mechanism of the shutdown. Everybody keeps repeating the fact that it's been killed, but how?


The ISP received complaints and advised he shut the site down, so he took it offline. Honestly the best place for actual info related to this seems to be their Facebook page where the owner has updated what is happened and also all of the comments reveal how many authors feel about the site (however misguided).

The ISP got cease and desist orders, plus some hatemail including threats of violence. So they took the site offline. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4360626


Also hundreds of DMCA complaints.
