His github account is gone as well ( http://github.com/diveintomark ). This is troubling. I'm glad I downloaded Dive Into Python 3, at least.

His G+ account is gone too https://plus.google.com/111966606387715428604/posts

Reddit account deleted too: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/f545e/i_am_a_fourtime_...

http://diveintohtml5.com/ seems to still be working

The domain for that site is owned by a Chinese university, and the IP address of the server it's hosted on looks like a shared server (there's over 200 sites hosted on that IP). I doubt Mark has anything to do with hosting that site.

Out of sheer curiosity - how do you tell how many sites (and which ones) are hosted on a shared server?

That's a really sad news.

He hasn't deleted his Hacker News Account yet. He last commented 27 days ago.

[I loved his blog and I wish someone has archive for it. I did not archive it locally because Mark used to write articles about long term archival of his data and I didn't think he would ever delete all his public writings.]

> Is Mark Pilgrim pulling a disappearing act? Shouldn't we respect his wishes? If he wants to pull the plug on his online identity, he should be allowed to do so without HN sending out an internet search squad.

He expressed no wishes. I think that at this point, people just want to know what happened. That requires doing things like this.
