Yeah, when sites shut down like this a fandom loses a part of its history. That can be really damaging down the road.

How so? Well, at least in regards to Japan Hero, I never really saw anything that a bunch of other blogs and sites haven't taken up with now.

Probably because they're one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World!

Based on my experience with anime fandom, which has the problems of hubs evaporating and very high turnover rate....
Fandom hubs are to some extent time capsules. They don't just provide information, they also record people's reactions to various shows as time progressed. What people wanted, how they felt about what they got, how reaction to a show aged. Those reactions in turn influence fan culture, which influences new fans coming into the community....
Where this is crucial in anime fandom is in understanding the industry's relationship to piracy and bootlegging, which goes back farther and runs deeper than either side of the debate really understands anymore.
If tokusatsu ever blows up in the US enough to support a real boutique DVD industry-- which I think is possible, if probably more than a decade off-- the experiences we're having now will be crucial to what it's like and how it behaves.
