Technically wasn't. Some Russian company bought the rights and cleared old accounts at some point.
Not sure about the owner, but I was able to sign in and see my profile a few days ago. It was an account from maybe ‘96 or ‘97, and I hadn’t even attempted to sign in in at least 15 years.
Out of nowhere, I logged in like a month ago. Everything was still there (at least, my friends list was). Hadn't logged in since the early 2000s. A few weeks later, I heard it was being shuttered. Weird.
