It means it was removed from the list of active newsgroups by your
news administrator, or an automatic process acting in his behalf.
There are any number of reasons why this could have happened,
including a message from another news administrator saying remove it,
an edict from somewhere above him in the administration, a crunch on
diskspace, a general purging, a whim, or whatever.

Politely ask your news admin why it was removed and whether it can be
brought back to your site.  If you don't know offhand who that is,
mail to news@ariel.unm.edu will probably seen by the right person (for
Lori).
