8chan's growth rate looked promising for a time, but I believe it's pretty inactive at the moment.

Well, being removed from Google surely doesn't help, but it's still one of the 5k top visited sites in the US according to Alexa: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/8ch.net
Why did it get removed?

They say because of CP, but I highly doubt it. I'm assuming a three digit organization didn't like the conversations going on there.
It does now, in the form of /asp/ I think :)
However I don't know how well moot's prediction of fizzling out holds for say 8chan, which has started to very much grow in popularity; granted, having roughly some of the same popular boards as 4chan (except for where moderation doesn't matter, like on NSFW boards) but with some interesting and nice top boards, like /leftypol/ which 4chan would never host.
I remember being on 4chan when the total amount of content currently hosted was listed as 50GB. And I thought it would be going down.
