DwarfFortress.com?

Yup, it's taken. Was discussed here in 2007.

But why did it die? Simple lack of interest?

Like I said two years ago, it was made with no clear reason of why it was made.   You can't just throw up a website and expect it to thrive.  It needs content.    Since all of DF's content is hosted in other places, there was no need for that site in particular.   The best use of it, I think, would've been if it was a gift for Toady to use.

Yeah, it should be given to Toady since nobody else is going to use it.

Or just make it redirect to bay12games.com/dwarves.

That's the easiest way to sort it out, yeah.

Yeah, IIRC this has been brought up already. It's a good idea indeed.  :)
