This is unfortunate! Jeffrey Beall is the only person can clarify the real reason behind. Hopefully, the platform / lists will be up again with more information and on new platform. If anyone come across about Jeffrey's response on this aspect may please post the message on LIS-forum too for the benefit of all members.

Hello All,
I was following the Beall's list closely also had shared the same with some faculties. It was useful for every researcher where they can able to identify the potential, possible or probable list of publishers and standalone journals. here are few links which I found can provide the possible reason behind closing down of the website. there is also news that the cabell's directory is planning to come up with the list of predatory journals.

Dear all
There is an archive of the Beall's list at : https://web.archive.org/web/
20170112125427/https://scholarlyoa.com/publishers/
It would be a good idea to download the list before this too vanishes!
