So far... ;-)

Other interesting facts:

Someone on the list mentioned that users.actcom.co.il/~oron
is still there. I checked and it's and amazingly still there.

But they left it as an isolated island:
 - The host users.actcom.co.il is not accessible (they probably just
   redirected some urls)
 - Who is allowed to crawl it? Nobody.
        $ wget -qO - http://users.actcom.co.il/robots.txt
        User-agent: *
        Disallow: /
 - The www.actcom.co.il is totally down with no redirection.
   which means many broken links.

To be continued...
