At roughly ten o’clock on Monday in Japan, the official Haruhi site went down. It was replaced with a 404 error and pictures of the North High school grounds used last year at haruhiism.com with a scrolling message. The importance of the date (7/7/08) is based upon Tanabata, a Japanese holiday which has special importance in The Disapperance of Haruhi Suzumiya. The site returned on Tuesday, but if you wish to see the July 7th version, it is avaliable on Google’s cache.
