They killed off the Wikipedia clones that way. It's funny that they haven't come back even though the SO clones do the exact same thing.

Wikipedia clones probably got enough traffic to show up on someone's dashboard/report. SO clones are probably a small fraction of all traffic, even though they seem to show up in a large percentage of the searches we perform.
I guess Wikipedia kind of got their rampant deletionism under control while Stack Exchange did not?
