Description
http://prothon.org (the homepage of prothon, according to its Portfile) seems to be a computer-security blog. It has no relation to the old programming language Prothon, as far as I can tell.

I've done some research.
It looks like Prothon was retired in 2004, to be replaced by a new language PyCs.
PyCs' domain pycs.org belongs to someone else now as well. PyCs changed its name to Spry in 2004.
Spry's domain spry-lang.org belongs to someone else now as well. The last time the Spry web page appears to exist is March 2005. I see evidence the domain spry.to was also used at one time, though it is unregistered now.
I see a post from someone in 2008 asking what ever happened to Prothon / PyCs / Spry, with no response.

I agree. According to whois records, the current incarnation of prothon.org was registered in 2007, whereas the last time the version of the prothon port was updated was in r10196 in 2005.
