They probably had hacks in the code they didn't want to show, but all in all I suspect they were making so little they just thought it wasn't worth continuing with it.
Most of these sites simply vanish at some point, with kind of defeats the purpose of using them to simplify their operation as you need to be ready to look for an alternative on short notice and it's a security concern.
OTOH what are the chances that the code changes would be of any use to the author?
- necovek 6y agoI would guess hacks and potentially secrets (passwords).
- belorn 6y agoWe can only speculate, but my suspicion is that they simply felt a bit ashamed. Telling a person they have been breaking the law for years, especially if they have a personal need to feel professional, can easily send them into panic mode. Removing the site and any record of it gives them a way to put it behind them.
- saagarjha 6y agoRight, but now they have a blog post written about them…
