What happened to the bc1 site at sb20.lbl.gov?

The site at LBNL is probably down for good now, but the pages are being moved to a new site in a google drive. You can read them here.
A more convenient mirror has been set up with the help of digitalocean and godaddy: http://www.cytbc1.com/cytbc1/bc1project.html
The complex II site is also there: http://www.cytbc1.com/SQR
and the old Berkeley Berry Group page: http://www.cytbc1.com/cytbc1/berrygroup.html
