Mona wrote a bunch (much of it filled with some fairly justified bitterness) about the circumstances that led to the site's demise at Unqualified Offerings. The bottom line, though, was that the site's owner had put together a truly terrible business model for the site. Eventually, I think his real world business went to hell as well and that was pretty quickly the end of the site.

Will - good job finding that link! That Long piece, despite some slight disagreements with it, was one of my favorite posts from AOTP. It's good to know someone managed to syndicate it before AOTP closed down. And yes, the shut down of AOTP made the C11 shut down doubly painful for me.
