Hmm, correct me if I'm wrong but Punchfork scraped their recipe content from other sites? Is it possible there is a data tainting issue here? Hard to reconcile Jeff's comments about user archive and the stuff on the web site, but that said I wasn't a user so I don't know if they sent an email with a download link or something.
I (and all Punchfork users, I assume) received a notification on January 3rd, including the following:
Initially, support for Punchfork will continue, but
we will soon be retiring the Punchfork site, API and
mobile apps. We believe that a unified destination
benefits our users in the long run, and the Punchfork
team (me) will focus on contributing to Pinterest as
the premier platform for discovering and sharing new
recipes and other interests on the web.
EDIT: Gmail binned this email in "Promotions"... I wonder if that explains why some didn't see it?

I'm a registered user and they did not do any notification. I didn't even know it was shut down until seeing this link.
