... is gone!

It looks like Google took it over and shut it down.

If something disappears that I've never heard of am I still allowed to miss it?

You weren't aware of it? It was fantastic -- free access to about 100 years of The Sporting News. It's where I got the "Ask Hal" material from last offseason.

The Sporting News archive was a treasure trove. Wondered why it disappeared. Google giveth, Google apparently giveth only so much.

I sifted through some discussions on this and it's mostly angry users who had their free info taken away. Seems googles official stance is it will be incorporated into the news archives part of The Empire but "that takes time." I did a news archive search for Ed Kranepool 1967 and it just brings up pay- per-view stuff in The NY/LA Times and Chicago Tribune. I'd like to read about Ed, but not for $2.95 an article.
