The ISP for jya.com, PrimeHost, an AOL subisidiary, has axed the site. We learned of this today after trying for a week to get an answer to why the site vanished. Tech said call Sales, Sales said it's not us, it's got to be Tech. Tech said it's definitely not us, and if it's not Sales or us it must be Bosses. Finally, a Boss was reached who said the site was "intentionally pulled." He claimed that it was "not a serious problem, so don't be alarmed," and sang cheerily about "some files" without elaboration. Maybe more next week, and we pray it turns out to be hysterically alarming and not merely a pissed Intel Prop owner seeking pay. JYX.com is still up, thanks to PrimeHost's autosub. Ten files there -- so far. We're humping to get the latest 60-page package of the RSA v. PGP suit there this weekend, thanks to Nobody.

If/when you do figure out what files it was that upset them, perhaps we can put them in the distributed eternity www-based data haven. Then tell them to go censor: http://jya.eternity/ (Should be fun to watch them try to "take down" a web document that is scattered across millions of USENET news spools. If any particular eternity server operator gets hassled, the attention will cause a feeding frenzy of new eternity servers springing up, much like the attempt at censoring Radikal, only the documents will still be sitting there in the document store, and there won't even be a glitch in access.)

Current eternity servers: http://www.replay.com/aba/eternity/ http://www.zipcon.net/~enoch/ (Thanks to the person who suggested in email the idea of mirroring whatever it was primehost are trying to censor on jya.com).
