Closed Indexers
- TVNZB - Their administrator went AWOL for a few months. Then the site started hitting software limitations, then they started getting spammed, then their DNS was hijacked. All of this could have been fixed but no one had access except their Admin.
- MyTVNZB RSS - Depended entirely on TVNZB for content. When TVNZB went down, so did MyTVNZB RSS.
- TVNZB.ca - Closed. They claim the site was just an "experiment", and that they'll hand off their source code to whoever wants to take it. Clones may pop up soon.
- Newzleech - Closed suddenly and inexplicably.
- FTD (Major Dutch spotting forum) Closed since March 1, 2011 due to a court order.
