there are other reasons aside from 'lameness' that the ISP might keep the
site up:
1) law enforcement request, to prolong/preserve investigation
2) legal request by phishee (mother site being phished) to
prolong/preserve investigation

Just a thought as sometimes childporn sites stay up longer than desirable
due to these same reasons.
