Once upon a time there was a blog, called Trainwrecks.net managed by Beth Campbell aka xeney. This site wrote about—train wrecks--human train wrecks. Any story you could imagine as long as it was a train wreck.
Some of Trainwreck's readers, or perhaps I should say victims, came over to this blog and weren't too happy about what Trainwrecks wrote about. Warfare between Trainwrecks and many other blogs ensued. People were taking this quite seriously. They thought the Trainwrecks people were cold and stone-hearted.
And then, suddenly, this weekend, Trainwrecks.net is no more.
If you click on the link above, you get the solemn message: "See You Space Cowboy... "
Heaven Nose takes credit for the demise of Trainwrecks.net, but no one knows.
Somehow, they've managed to clean out Google caches, everything. They've supposedly done this by inserting a robots.txt file into the trainwreck site's root file. This text erases all traces of the old site from the Internet.
They could've been bored, sued, anything. But the clean-up was professional. And not a word of goodbye, not even a Google cache to look at.
Or . . . could it be a great publicity stunt, the attention grabbing rebirth of Trainwrecks II? No one knows.
It sure looks like a real blog suicide, with a cryptic goodbye notice. Considering the tumultuous life Trainwrecks lived, the mystery is rather riveting.

Just another lesson in how to deal with bullies. Trainwrecks have been cyber bullies for far too many years. Ignoring them didn't work, asking them nicely didn't work, pleading to not pick on women who had just delivered a dead baby didn't work, posting their personal information and fighting back worked. They tried to shut down heavennose, like other blogs before it but they couldn't, so now, they are down.
Trainwrecks needed to delete everything because they were doing their nasty business at work and their bosses were none too pleased. Now, their bosses can't prove anything and they keep their jobs.
Good riddance trainwreck bitches.
Once again: was the info about the writers real? true? who knows. Besides, most of the mean came from the comments. And TW never shut down a site.
I just left this response on http://puddlejumper.wordpress.com and I thought you'd be interested:

Feel free to give her a call
You're an idiot. First she lives in CA, then her phone number is in VA?
First commenter: "Trainwrecks have been cyber bullies for far too many years."
YEARS? What are you smoking, dude?
Anon: I don't care where she lives or what number you call or don't call, that's the information provided by her Website hosters and some random response on a gossip page. The number provided is obviously for Network Solutions, which may or may not be willing to give up her home phone, cell phone and numbers for her doctor, BFF, priest and/or masseuse, why don't you call and find out?
