Your report of Castle Cops demise is grossly over rated. After reading your post I checked CC out so I should delete it from my bookmarks if it was dead, and found it alive.

I wouldn't discount it completely, the forums that essexboy frequents could well have some information we aren't yet privy to.

Hi DavidR,
What I did know was that the resources of CC's were under fire for considerable time and suffered long term DOS attacks, apparently from those that were not so happy with their services, but that is the fate of the "untouchables",

Yes, there have been many times when they have been subjected to denial of service attacks and have had to change hosts on at least one occasion because the Host couldn't cope or protect them against these DDOS attacks.
So perhaps it simply became too much, but that is speculation.
One thing for sure they certainly made come miscreants very unhappy and long may that continue if possible.

A similar fate happened to hpHosts forum with it being first threatened then defaced then taken off line.
If you are a long time member of Malwarebytes forum with over 50 posts then you can see the current status of this situation:
