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.

It’s an idea, not a living being.
Ideas are bullet proof.

The humans that carry them are not. If you kill all of the carriers, the idea disappears (unless it is reinvented again).
Just saying.

The Romans invented steam power but used it for toys. How long did it take for that technology to resurface?

Technology is one thing. Many people probably thought of steam power but never did anything with it.
How long have people opt for freedom over slavery?

What you just said there was completely illogical and you can't make sense that of thinking of the way people think without an idea of why they should think so in such a way.
Slavery is comfortable because at least you can have someone looking after you. I think you fail to realise how fresh of a concept freedom really is. Humans used to be a lot more pack like if the sleeping arrangements are anything to go by and the lack of literacy meant that a person could only teach and learn a small amount of skills leading to a reliance on everyone around them dictated by the few that could read and learn leadership skills. Winter used to be much colder than it is now.
What do you even mean by freedom because it's a relatively new concept in the history of things so what is your idea of freedom?
