pbbg.org is gone

This is kind of sad. But pbbg.org has vanished. I am not sure how long ago it may have happened. The whole purpose of its existence was to forward "PBBG" as the name for a distinct genre of browser games that really had not been defined previously. It defined the term, gave examples of what were and were not PBBGs and also had a directory of PBBG games and development resources (I believe IR was listed on there).
I do believe it made a difference in the years it was there. You do see a lot of game development sites use the term, and there are several "top PBBG" websites. But I wonder if usage of the term will start to decrease without the site pushing its definition and usage.
