The slowest way to disappear
centraltexasbaseball.org has the same shape as forty other addresses in these records -- a teams path, an account parameter reading ctbl, a sport parameter -- so this league is on the hosting platform that is currently failing across every competition it carries.
Most of those leagues at least return an error page. This one does not get that far. The request goes out, the connection is accepted, and nothing comes back for as long as anybody is prepared to wait.
A timeout is the worst of the failures in this directory, because it is the only one that gives a visitor no information at all. A 404 tells you the page is gone. A certificate warning tells you something is wrong. A blank tab tells you nothing, and people simply leave.
Central Texas covers a lot of ground between Austin and Waco, and our records already hold an Austin league behind the same outage.
A High Cheese league page is served from infrastructure that answers, at an address the league owns, with the schedule, the standings and every roster rendered as pages -- so the difference between a league that folded and a league whose host is having a bad week stays visible to everybody.
