According to someone from NASA, it was in fact shut down. NASA will eventually re-publish the reports.

That's a better article than the link, since they actually bothered to get answers to the question from definitive sources. NPR also linked directly to the NOAA copy of the report, lending credence to the "sloppy relocation" theory of the case:

Yes cancelling funding and firing all the people involved is indicative of an honest mistake when moving some stuff around.

If they already fired the staff of the agency, it's actually pretty believable that the dedicated website would get shut down. Talk about burying the lede.
