I don't know. It was someone who claimed to have a copyright on Hackenbush and was parking on the domain name hackenbush.com. Rather than deal with whomever it was, we just dropped the 'c' in the name. It looks like hackenbush.com still for sale, but the landing page is different.

Does anyone know of a browser applet or smartphone app that lets a human play Red-Blue Hackenbush against a computer?
One nice way to convince people that a certain Hackenbush position H has value 1/2 would to give them a chance to play the game consisting of m copies of H plus n copies of a game with value -1, for various values of m and n, sometimes playing Red and sometimes playing Blue.
