Ah! Now that is the first explanation I've heard that makes sense.
But not the correct one, as it turns out. Lycos is *not* in the throes of bankruptcy, nor has there been any report to that effect in the WSJ. And the following has now been released by Tripod:
----------begin forwarded message---------- Inside scoop from Derek Bruneau, director of engineering and personal publishing at Tripod:
"What's happened is that a technical glitch caused a bunch of sites to be removed accidentally. They're being restored today. Believe me, it wasn't targeted at anyone's site in particular. Lots of different sites [were swept] --including many of our favorites. It was just a really bad bug. Small bug, big effect. we're working as quickly as we can to get everyone's site back online. We know how terrible this is for members, so we apologize profusely. It's the last thing anyone needed right now." ----------end forwarded message----------
I note that some of the sites which were missing over the weekend have indeed reappeared.
