You might be right, CeeJay.  However, for a long while now,
both URLs revert to http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/ with the
message, 
"Sorry, this site is temporarily unavailable! 
The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its 
allocated data transfer. Visit our help area for more 
information. Access to this site will be restored within 
an hour. Please try again later."
I have not been able to access this address for many months.
Too, I have never seen this message before, no matter
how many hits a URL was receiving per day.
Earlier, Joan left http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/7373/
and got her own URL address at http://www.ascii-art.com/
The latter address is the last that I saw of her web page.
I think she may be gone from both alt.ascii-art and the Net.
Wherever she is, I know a lot of people wish her well.
And you are right...  others have disappeared, too.
