This was posted on the consumerist website on Monday, October 30:

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".
