The three word answer: Dot Com Bust

They got swept up in the plummeting tech/dotcom sector stock drops in the early 00's and they couldn't keep up the operational costs. So, they sold the name/business. That was unfortunate, since for the most part they had their act together. (My personal favorite home delivery dot com convenience service went out at the same time, and I was similarly sad.)
