See the announcement on the "Biblical Studies and Technological Tools"  
blog:

and the briefer note at the zhubert.com site itself:

http://zhubert.com/

This is a big blow to many a student of Biblical texts in the original  
languages. For B-Greekers, a secondary (tertiary?) inconvenience is  
that one could always go there for a quick recoding of a Biblical  
Greek text in the standard B-Greek transliteration scheme. That too is  
lost. Evidently the fundamental problem is that the text employed as  
provided by James Tauber's MorphGNT is under copyright. Without that  
text the whole functionality of the site collapses.

As Robert El Lee is reported to have muttered repeaedly while  
withdrawing from the battle site at Gettysburg, "Too bad! Too bad! ...  
" Not that I wish the battle had turned out otherwise, but Lee's sense  
of the magnitude of the loss of that battle can be appreciated by  
those who will miss the zhubert.com site.
