I’m not sure, but it may have been an issue of the org. changing its website name:

Well, what do you know!! Thanks for the update. Was aware that about 2-3 months ago Google began making changes in their searches...Pam Gellers “Atlas Shrugged” site had their name changed as commented at the time on FR. Then when checking my list of go to recipe sites, found that many of those had been changed as well. Then remembered certain sites commenting the owners had been contacted by Google to help in the new assembly of sites and combining these. Must have been a considerable undertaking for all concerned! You must be another Sherlock Holmes to have found the info on Pam Lanier’s site and their name change. Both BB sites are now no longer available but due to the Wayback Machine at Web Archives....their recipes are not lost forever. Much to be printed should they ever be tossed into the wastebasket of history.

Surely you remember the movie ‘Babbettes Feast” At one time Geocities had a site that was written by a food critic in Chicago. A dinner theater was featuring BF and the actors involved actually cooked the dinner prepared by Babbette. This was written up on a Geocities site....and GC discontinued their service back in 2009 I believe. Fortunately, Web archive came thru with that gem of history so it was found and printed. The writer of the article told how the menu at the theater was made and basically gave recipes for the meal.... Love that movie. It’s one that will never be forgotten. LOL - sorry.Just wished to sing the praises of the web archives and how much they are used to this day. Exactly how long certain sites will be found there remains a mystery. Thanks once again
