I have several versions of Anarchie (and Fetch and TurboGopher, etc) and I
know that some of the schools have said that the reason they pulled down
their archives was due to pressure from Apple and fees involved in their
maintaining them. UIowa said this was why Liquify (used to be Panda and
then it was Grind) was taken down.

It is no secret (nor should it come as any surprise) that humankind's
most noble impulses often surface during the most trying of times, that
human spirit rises to the challenge when faced with adversity, that human
strength is born from human failings...Is it any wonder, then, that the
SDF-1 crew became a tighter family after the fortress had been exiled than
it had before?
