    [In 1998, for reasons still mysterious to us, nearly all of the extensive Qadiani websites disappeared within days. Only some still exist as domain names, but are "put on hold", displaying only minimal content, others are taken over by the competing branch of the Lahore Ahmadiyya. If anyone knows the real reasons for the Qadiani retreat from the Web, I would be very interested to understand it. Update: In 2002 the official site has come back, though with less material.]
