Bye bye, Accessify.com?
Sadly, Ian (lloydi on the forums) is selling the sister site to the forum, Accessify.com:
http://accessify.com/news/2011/01/bye-bye-accessify/
The site and this forum have been my go-to sites for accessibility-related advice and tools, and were key to getting me into web accessibility since I started building sites for a living in 2003. Having been among people invited to help him out with running the site, it's frustrating that I haven't found/made the time to be of much use. *sadface*

As I said in the blog comments, in my opinion Accessify is a much better name than “Fix the web” so I’d say give it to that project. Unfortunately they’ve now launched as FTW but it would be worth discussing it with Gail.

Very sad news indeed.
I do, however, fully understand Ian's reasons for taking these steps.
I hope he finds someone who can devote the time needed to keep the site alive and useful.
