There's also "Sea Change," where a Web site that was one way, changes to become another way.

An example is BBSpot.com. It's still up and going, but very different from many years ago.

I miss SatireWire. I think it's dead now (ERROR ESTABLISHING A DATABASE CONNECTION).



That happened to mp3.com as well - it was once a Bandcamp-like site, until it was acquired by CBS Interactive after a disastrous music locker service got it nuked from orbit by the RIAA. It's now, for all practical purposes, a parked domain.

I still have a CD-ROM from them (back then, everybody and his brother published a CD-ROM).
