Lostmessiah.com has closed their blog.
I have no idea why Lost Messiah went offline. They had a very good site and I read it almost daily. It appeared as if they had a potential replacement for failedmessiah in the works and its closure is unfortunate. If anyone has information why the site was closed, please post in comments. Links to alternative web sites are also welcomed.
UPDATE (May 18, 2016 10:40 AM):
Lostmessiah.com has returned online and is posting new articles.
Chafraud-Depravitch 
Rechnitz probably threatened them

Agreed; legal action or physical threat. If LM blogger reads this, hope all is OK – you were the only good source of news in the area.

If you editorialize on news stories, one is an easy target for lawsuits. Follow the example of a site such as the Drudge Report and just post links to stories. Do not even allow commenting on your blog about the stories. Just link to the stories and if people want to comment they can do it at the original new source. Buffer to reduce the risk and you will survive.

Looks like Shmarya started posting on facebook again. Don’t know if that’s related

I suspect intimidation either legal or threatening, especially since it was pulled so quickly. More so than FM, LM went after local NY corruption and named names. The supposed identity of the blogger was mentioned on another angry Hassid blog. Very sorry to see it taken down.

There’s another angry hassid blog? Can you provide a link?
Why would they publish a ‘supposed’ identity if they were on the same side?
ps sorry for the double post previously.
Didnt realize there would be a delay.
Very sorry to see LM down (hopefully not out)

They promised they weren’t going anywhere and they left without a warning or a trace! Probably more than a threatened lawsuit.

They promised they weren’t going anywhere but yet they are gone without a warning or a trace. Likely more than a lawsuit threat for editorializing. If itw ere that easy the major daily papers would have been out of business a long time ago.

LostMessiah must have been threatened or they might have received a lawyer’s letter .
They could not have pulled out so abruptly without informing its readers .
Let’s not be intimidated or turned down by any intimidation or threats .
Another blog must take over from LostMessiah .com bc the public must be informed about what’s going on in the frum and hassidic communities .
Let us know if you’ll find out any information . Thanks .

Fortunately they are back online. I hope they can tell us what happened.
Anyway, I’m glad to see it. As a family man and one man operation I really don’t have much time for blogging. It pays nothing and is a labor of love. Or it would be a labor of love if I loved it. But I don’t.

I wonder if LM’s brief disappearance was in any way connected to this latest bombshell:
