For those who loved MooseRoots, it is gone. Not only that, but archived copies of it are no longer available on the Wayback Machine. I heard a rumor that it was gone a few weeks ago and when I checked www.mooseroots.com, I got an error message of
This site is no longer available.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Attempts to find it on the WayBack Machine were met with the following:
Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt.
See www.mooseroots.com robots.txt page. Learn more about robots.txt.
If a site owner requests it, the organization that runs archive.org won’t allow people to save copies of the website to the Wayback Machine. At this point, I am not sure if MooseRoots was affected by the RootsWeb problem since it has been reported by some or if it something happened as reported by others.
It was a very useful site and I would dislike seeing it no longer available, especially since anything on the Wayback Machine has also been removed.

Yeah, its disappearance is totally a big disappointment. Don’t know if it is true, but someone posted that it was bought by Amazon.

Yeah…guess Jeff Jorgensen Bezos decided to blow up something we all loved.
Note to his soon to be ex, cuckold wife: SCREW HIM TO THE FINANCIAL BONE.
