This is our last post on Consumerist.com. We're deeply proud of all the work we've done on behalf of consumers, from exposing shady practices by secretive cable companies to pushing for action against dodgy payday lenders.
We've had a tremendous run as a standalone site. Now you'll be able to get the same great coverage of consumer issues as part of Consumer Reports, our parent organization.
Since they've defeated those secretive cable companies and payday lenders, I guess they had nothing left to do...
Additional coverage at the New York Post entitled "Consumerist site shuts down after alleged mismanagement".

Right cause "stop reporting on us or else" is really how someone would quietly shut down a site. I have zero evidence aside from the ever increasing trajectory of corruption in the US, paired with the interesting timing with the Net Neutrality Neutering Project.
To be clear I am NOT saying this is 100% what is happening, as I said no evidence, but it is something to keep in mind. If you don't think shit like this is happening pretty frequently then I have a slightly used but superbly engineered bridge you might be interested in.

Will the bridge employ people in my district? If so, I'll have the money guy contact you. Don't worry about the cost, we've got it covered.
