Maybe it's just a temporary thing.  I got a couple cables from them in the mail today.

They were looking for someone to buy out the remaining stock, and maybe they were given an offer that they couldn't refuse.

That's very strange. My name and e-mail is on that list.

I can only assume it's the list of people who were subscribed to receive their bulk mailings.

EDIT: Ha, yeah, everyone's on that list. Aaron, Helgeson, and a few other people I know. Probably everyone here too but I don't know most of your real names. Weird-- I wonder why that list would pop up on a default server page?

I can't find me on that list.  They actually can be sued for breach of privacy for this.

Doubtful.  There was no privacy statement given when signing up, so they have no obligation to keep contacts private.  Besides, this isn't likely intentional anyway.

Their website has gone down before for short amounts of time, although not in the last year or two.  I remember having to dig up their phone number once because the site was down for several days and I wanted to place an order.

You're probably right.  The front page and shopping cart have been removed, but this page still remains: http://www.tzd.com/products.php

Two signs that TZD might very well be defunct.

EDIT:  I sent TZD an email and it bounced. RIP TZD!!!
