If it disappeared around 10 December 2014, then it was taken out as a side-effect of the take-down of TPB. That takedown had a negative impact on virtually all the domains hosted by the organization that provided an Internet presence to TPB.

If it disappeared on some other date, then it probably switched domain names, and "favoured users" have the URL.
