A lot of people are asking, so I'm going to copy-paste the same reply to them all.
Something happened. Our web dev guy took the site down and deleted the source code. It took me forever to get an update out of him, and he won't discuss any details. I believe he got a visit from the FBI or local law enforcement. He's being way too cagey about the whole thing, more reluctant to discuss it than I consider normal from this person. He'd tell me if it were any other reason. I believe he's under legal pressure not to discuss it. I feel bad for him.
So, we got on the news twice, we made a lot of people very very angry, and we showed the world that there are still people who don't subscribe to the Gospel of Diversity. I feel like we accomplished our goals. I'm sad the site died, but I'm glad my friend wasn't disappeared into an FBI black site. Someone else may take up the Coalfax mantle now. Our cause will never die.
Thank you to everyone who submitted coalburners and supported us. We, the silent majority, still exist.

This is absolute and unforgivable violation of free expression. The fact that a Federal Law Enforcement Agency may be responsible makes it even more reprehensible. Who are the to judge offensive and unpopular speech? Who appointed them the arbiters or morality? I bet with a law suit if would be restored but no one wants to have their name attached to it and I don't blame them. We need a right wind version of ACLU, a group of lawyers who could take anonymous donations.

It's not free expression to put other people's detail in the public forum, you fucking clown.

Yes it is free expression, especially if those people put those pics in public sphere themselves. Even if they did not, it is protected speech, show me a law where that is unlawful, you petty little tyrant.
