I can't say why this site disappeared, but this project is 'mature' at the least and the technology is probably not seeing updates much. Â And a lot of people are doing deployments using the front server as a proxy rather than other a protocol (for example running the server application on a stamen process with apache or nginx infrount via http or (ideally) via socket). Â As a result the approach is falling out of favor for no particularly good reason other than a lot of people just don't use it.
That said its solid and I would use mod_fastcgi (and I do on several production applications).  I don't like mod_fcgid and have not had good luck with it.
Just go ahead and keep using it. Â As long as you understand how it works and know how to set it up its great. Â I think its just slowly harder to find the correct documentation around it. Â

I had problems getting mod_fcgid working well on my (small) catalyst setups.
I've had good luck so far with mod_proxy_fcgi (with apache 2.4.x)
