Why do websites die, /g/?
maintaining a website is attention seeking by its nature

Listen Buddy
When websites get old they go into the "new World" a world full of flowers and babycats. The only way for us humans to get there is to die.
Do you want to die buddy ?
Hosting costs, site reorginisations to be modern, domain costs and domain highjacking.

The web is not forever.
Everyone seems to have this delusion that the "internets are forever". Well, they are only forever as long as the goddamn server is up and running.
If you really value something - if there's some tidbit of information, or something you really like - you're gonna want to archive it.
People wonder why I print certain news articles. Well, ever try to go back and read an old article on a website? Ever wonder how you can prove something really happened when the history of it is removed? A PDF dump solves that...with the URL and datestamp. Print-to-PDF means those articles really don't die...
Same goes for other sites. Use wget to archive the shit out of them and zip them up; when they die, you still have the copy.

What if the owner requested archive.org not to archive their now-defunct website?
How the fuck do I prune my thousands and thousands of bookmarks
Every time I clear some, they get replaced soon

Of course, however getting a gun over here is a hassle and i don't know if there's a suicide method that works 100% of the time.
According to /g/ only websites that sell things are supposed to survive.

Even Guns don't kill 100% of the time.

do you really need to explain to someone why you save something you want to keep?
