No idea. ABC bought it and slowly has been shutting down the parts of it. They got rid of the projects page, then laid off all the folks working on it after the election, and now have gotten rid of all of the articles.

Fortunately the Github is still up: https://github.com/fivethirtyeight

I need to mirror everything to keep it accessible when they decide to shut this down, too?

I loved that site, and referred people to it frequently.

I'm surprised this is news - or perhaps just surprised that there was still some of 538 around ...?

ABC officially sunset 538 over a year ago (and laid off most/all of the staff).

The new development is that the old articles from when the site was active have been taken offline. Normally you would leave old content online even if you're no longer making more.
