Ask HN: Did TextDrive disappear for you too?

Last week (3/21) I discovered that all of my sites hosted on TextDrive were no longer reachable:

  ಠ_ಠ ping rabasa.com
  PING rabasa.com (8.17.82.104): 56 data bytes
  Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
  Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
  Request timeout for icmp_seq 2

  Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
  Request timeout for icmp_seq 5
  ^C
  --- rabasa.com ping statistics ---
  7 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100.0% packet loss
Here is a brief history of my inability to connect with anyone at TextDrive about this.

  3/21 - An email is sent to support@textdrive.com
  3/22 - Another email is sent to support@textdrive.com
  3/22 - A tweet is sent to @txd
  3/25 - A support ticket was filed at https://w.textdrive.com
I've checked my Spam folder, so I know I'm not missing any correspondence from TextDrive. It seems like they've simply disappeared. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Pretty sure they sent something out where you would have had to take action months and months ago... There is a giant notice on the front page of the new textdrive.com re this now btw.
