The site's news blog is still available though the DS News Twitter account, though it hasn't been updated in ages. Though that is more than likely because Stuart seems to be concentrating on the Twitter account and Facebook page, which are updated regularly.
If Stuart has taken down the DS Journal Web site (and it's not simply a temporary issue with the host), I can understand why considering he hasn't updated it in ages but he was probably still paying for the Web space to host it, and that can run a pretty penny. So, if he'd decided that he wasn't ever going to update it, then my guess is he probably decided to no longer pay for it, so he didn't renew things when his contract with the host expired...
