Mayor Ragsdale has said in interviews that as soon as he learned about CasWalker.com he ordered it shutdown. In his affidavit, Richard Moran said that "approximately around June of 2004" he investigated and found that "secure areas of the site" had been accessed from Harber's computer, and that the Mayor told Harber to shut it down.
The Wayback Machine archived copy of CasWalker.com has a link to a post with comments in August of 2004. There is also this post with comments on August 11th 2004 from site users, and spam comments posted on October 9th 2004.
So it appears that it took a while for the site to get shutdown. The October spam comment could have been made through a lingering Movable Type backdoor, but the databases and pages were still there.

2 questions:
1. So Team Ragsdale knew in June that Harber was running CasWalker.com, but you could still post on that site until October and Cas was putting up new material in late July? So why didn't Team Ragsdale shut it down immediatley in June, unless the site was still furthering Team Ragsdale's purposes?
2. So Moran found out that "many" Knox County employees had "accessed this site on a regular basis." Armed with knowledge of who accessed the site, what did Team Ragsdale do with that knowledge against those Knox County employees?
