It turned into a bad LINE dictionary. MDBG.net is the best in my opinion.

yeah, MDBG has always been my favourite although I prefer YellowBridge for etymology.

Here's an article on Nciku shutting down:

I will take a look into MDBG. I had never heard of it before and primarily used Nciku. I really wish that Pleco had a web based dictionary as they seem to be the best I have found so far.
