The Deathwatch or Watchlist is a central indicator of websites and networks that are shutting down and serves as an indicator of what happened to particular sites that shut down quickly.

New sites should be added in chronological order, newest death date first. Forward-looking death dates should be added to the first list only. Sites large enough to warrant additional information will receive a dedicated page, linked from here and on Category:Closing projects.

(The content of the Getting Things Done table, merged with the In Progress table, can now be found on Small projects.)

Pre-emptive Alarmbells (Likely To Die)

    • These repairs are considered "unauthorized" by Apple and could the driving force behind the shutdown.

  • September 26: CIA.vc[IAWcite.todayMemWeb], a central distributor of FOSS commit messages to IRC channels, got its database deleted by its web host. There were no backups. It had been running for a decade (although it had changed maintainership a year before).

All of the images themselves (but not the comments) were available to download via torrents, though it is unknown if the torrents are still available.

  • August: Parodius Networking, which hosts numerous web sites related to classic video game platforms, died
  • July 30: Kasabi[IAWcite.todayMemWeb], a data publishing platform created by Talis[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] was announced[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] to be closing on July 30, 2012.

Kasabi has a blog post[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] that announces the availability of datasets contained in Kasabi to ease archiving.
  • July 26: noob.hu doesn't accept more images. Uploaded pictures still there long after, though.
  • July 1: The Polish social network wikipedia:Grono.net has disappeared, replaced by a file hosting service grono.net.pl on July 1, 2012. Most content from the old site was supposed to be migrated, but, according to a message on the main page, technical difficulties have delayed the migration by one or two weeks. It's getting increasingly late...
  • June 30: Apple MobileMe, iDisk, iWeb, and included services. This major website and these services will shut down in 2012[IAWcite.todayMemWeb], simply because web hosting is boring and they want to focus on the exciting "iCloud". [75][76]
  • April 30: Google Wave shut down on April 30th.
  • April: convore.com[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] shut down in April 2012. The site hosted IRC conversations, and involved a lot of JavaScript.

Because we know better

2011

  • August/September: Google Labs closed. [79] and many great/experimental one of a kind tools vanished. Among many others "google sets" that had been around since a long time, "City Tours" some includeing user generated content and the exciting "google squared" [80] that was an approach to pass more artificial intelligence to the user than conventional searchengines (compareable to wolframalpha) but seemingly based on a bigger/vast pool of data just like standard google searchresults). Since there is hardly any obvious rationale(?) for closeing down "Google Labs" it pictures google as beeing either less supportive or even hostile to new inoventions and less responsible with usergenerated content or more secretive about their ongoing projects than one might thought before or than Google might was before indeed. 1 Jan 2011 Whatsgoingonwithgoogle 18:06, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
  • May 31: MyPhotoAlbum.com[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] closed on May 3, 2011 and deleted everything on May 31, 2011. Users who heard about the closure were given the options of either transferring their photos and videos over to dotPhoto.com or purchasing a DVD with their content for $15.00.
  • April 16: Encyclopedia Dramatica shutdown on 16. April 2011 without warning. Ongoing reconstruction Efforts. A lot of Images and Articles are probably lost. (The replacement OhInternet is a very strongly sanitized Version of ED.) ED is claiming that they are in danger of shutting down. Despite the controversial nature of many articles hosted on the wiki, this would be a big loss of historical records.
    A lot of the Images and Pages are still missing. Help appreciated.
  • March 31: Yahoo! Video shut down on March 31st, 2011 and was reborn as a video portal.

  • February 22: The Insurgency Wiki is a wiki with a community that created multiple guides and raids for Anonymous, in a similar manner to Encyclopedia Dramatica. It's status has always been unclear, with many mirrors coming and going. But as of Feb. 22, 2012, the last mirror, Partyvan.info, looks like it has some damning database error. Just in case, the Bibliotheca Anonoma has made a full backup, including all available images available.
  • February/June: The IRC logging service IRSeeK.com[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] shut down. Back in 2007, it had controversially used un-labeled bots to archive (and publish) logs of IRC channels without notification or permission.
  • January 17: The Sims Carnival: [82]
  • January: The wiki hosting site wik.is, hosted by MindTouch, shut down on the first week of January 2011; the explanation being that "in order to continue to support the growing needs of our MindTouch Express users, we are offering MindTouch Cloud", which "opens up additional features and functionality that are not available in Wik.is.". The only way you'd know all that is if you receive a warning e-mail from MindTouch. They offer to keep your site running by "upgrading to our paid Cloud version by filling out this short form.[IAWcite.todayMemWeb]"

2009

  • December 6: favrd, a website that aggregated favorite tweets from twitter, abruptly shut down on December 6, 2009 with absolutely no warning, killing off thousands of highlighted entries added by group-consensus over significant months. As a reward for their efforts, founder Dean Allen wrote this helpful message: "Alas, stars on Twitter have become mere take-out menus hung on the doors of other restaurants. There are still lots of clever and funny things to read every day, but finding these is no longer a challenge â you already follow your sources. Sites like this one now serve mainly as fuel for emotional up-fuckedness in the guise of a game. Just an idea: next time you see something you like, write the person who made it a note telling them so. Even better, explain why. Take care!" Advice to people who want to work with Dean Allen's projects in the future: don't.

  • June 15: Jumpcut.com[IAWcite.todayMemWeb] became the latest example of Yahoo!'s awesome respect for history and data, announcing the closure of the video hosting and editing site, for June 15, 2009.

Otherwise, you are not in great shape - Yahoo says you can move your videos to Flickr, but Flickr cuts off at 90 seconds. A lot of homemade video is going to disappear.

After that, the files would be deleted. What, Yahoo doesn't have a spare memory stick to store what must be the amount of files in this service for the next year?
  • March 25: Yahoo! Farechase, an airline fare aggregation and searching site, was shut down on March 25, 2009. It had previously been it's own company, founded in 1999, and purchased by Yahoo! in 2004. [98]

  • Chanarchive.org - A site dedicated to saving select quality threads from 4chan, running since 2006 and containing 500GBs of important material. It has shut down entirely, as the owner was banned from Paypal and has no means of paying for the site in it's current state.

  • Filefront.com is closing up shop [138]. The site will be suspended on March 30, 2009. 1.5 Million files and 48+ TB of space gone just like that.
