Very annoying!  I did an ethnographic study with female fans of The 
X-Files. I went back to the official Fox site recently  to check on an 
episode date and the entire site has been removed. Instead you are sent 
to a site to buy the DVDs of the series. Apparently fans were outraged 
by this decision but Fox doesn't seem to care.
