From a casual observer who has had the privilege (curse?) of running a few websites, it seems to me a couple things:
1. If the website is just down because of a stolen dns, and not destroyed server or something similar, it's easy to fix.
2. It would probably take less than an hour to register a similar website name, like mazdatruckin.net, which is unowned, and change the opening homepage to that URL.
3. Given #1 & 2, my guess is K6 lost interest/got tired of running the site.
That happens sometimes, I've had to run a few and keep up with updates, etc, so I can understand getting sick of running it. Unfortunately, MT was a community full of all kinds of good, useful information, relationships, etc, and to have it just gone really screws things up for continuity sake. Nothing against BScene, as it seems to be a good website and community too, it's just more like our country got invaded and we were all expelled without being able to take any of our possessions with us. It's disconcerting. I could find all kinds of info from Earl, follow Danwoodland's project, etc, and all that is lost.
