I used to visit this site from time to time, and enjoyed the snarky commentary on WN matters from a Xian perspective. Back in January the site went offline, and then the archives were removed from both Google and
http://www.archive.org. Here is the current HTML code for the home page of

Curious about the reasons for this, I discovered the following site:
http://mrsbinoculars.com/
which appears to concern itself with an ongoing in-house squabble about various protestant ministries, some of whom were criticized by littlegeneva. The site contains what purports to be information about the demise of littlegeneva:

Upon Discovery, Seabrook Panics, Lies, and Fakes His Own Hack
As part of my research, I tracked down the Kinist leader's place of employment—a “diversity-conscious” IT operation with a formal policy statement against the very type of race-baiting behavior which is the hallmark of Mr. Seabrook at Little Geneva. Not only do they have a policy statement against such behavior, but they require employees to make full disclosure for any possible conflicts of interest between their outside life and the objectives of the company.
On Friday, one of my team members independently called Harry at his office to obtain information on several lectures he gave recently. During the phone call, Seabrook panicked. He lied, denying his relation to Little Geneva.
Within six hours of this call, the Little Geneva web site went down.

Seabrook Seeks to Flush Little Geneva Down the Memory Hole
“Go Away, Google!”—A Postscript to “Postscript”
By Matthew Chancey
January 17, 2007
Harry Seabrook, the self-described “Good Natured Internet Assassin” of Kinist fame, is determined to wipe every last trace of Little Geneva off the worldwide web.
A Fake Hack Followed by Postscript Therapy
After an apparently faked hack of his own site last Friday night, LittleGeneva.com's Harry Seabrook bid “farewell” to his online presence with a final posting on Sunday labeled “Postscript,” which soon featured many warm notes in the comments thread from Harry's loyal fans.
But now, Harry's time of internet therapy is over. His fan club will have to go somewhere else than LittleGeneva.com to thank him for his years-long contribution to the white separatist cause. Last night, Harry took off LittleGeneva.com all the comments along with his Hacker “X” “Postscript.” Now, visitors to LittleGeneva.com will find that the once-colorful site with its banner of Reformed patriarchs is now nothing but a plain white page.
Please Don't “Cache” Me, Because My Paycheck Will Bounce!
But this action by Seabrook is more significant than it at first appears. He isn't just taking Little Geneva completely offline—he's trying to obliterate any cached record of its existence.
Normally, when a site goes down, the administrator pulls all the files, and visitors to the site get one of those famous “404: Page not found” errors. But by leaving up a blank page with the right meta tags, search engines like Google will still find the site “active” and will remove their cached pages from public view. In short, this action by Seabrook clearly demonstrates that he wants all the evidence of his race-baiting antics gone from the internet. Seabrook is seeking to flush the record of Little Geneva.com down the worldwide web memory hole.

It would appear, then, that some holier-than-thou 'anti-racist' type tracked down the proprietor of Little Geneva and none-too-subtly threatened him with loss of his job upon public exposure and so the proprietor replied by taking down Little Geneva and forced a flushing of the cached pages at Google and the Wayback Machine at archive.org in order to save himself.
