It's a somewhat puzzling change, but it's not something that has much relevance to most fans or even fansites (since the new sites retains the old directory structure any broken links are easily fixed).
What was interesting is how it seemed to happen gradually; The Reference Book was moved first, but some other subsites like the general "About Digimon" page (which, come to think of it, I haven't seen fully translated anywhwere yet, curiously) were still on the old domain, but by now it seems everything has moved over.
Who knows why it happened, maybe it's just some new company policy about where and how to present their franchises, a very tiny optimistic part of me hopes that maybe they vacated the domain because they have plans to put something completely new there and this is their way of archiving the old site or something. But we'll see. It's not much of an issue either way.

What's the name of that electric attack Ballistamon uses in Xros Wars? Neither Wikimon or the Wiki have it listed.

Which episode? If he didn't call it out, it probably doesn't have a name.

In order to hunt Volcdramon, Xros Wars Episode 68 has Ballistamon electrifying water that Sagomon blasts inside him. Crunchyroll subs translate the attack as “Electric Jolt.” Ballistamon calls out the attack, but there isn’t a box to go with it. https://imgur.com/gallery/sb8yi

It's Denki Biribiri, something like Shocking Electricity or Electricity Shock. Denki means electricity, while biribiri is onomatopoeia for something like an electric shock (or a ripping sound, which is why the English version of Cyber Sleuth mistranslated Shocking Net as Ripping Net).

Well shit, so if we want to capture both the ‘hack’ and the ‘haku’ aspects, we would have to romanise it as ‘Hackumon’. Gosh that’s ugly though. Moreover it really brings to question whether the Appmon one should be romanised the same way, since he’s no longer white and his namesake consists entirely of hacking. Should you even try to capture the etymology that’s no longer relevant?

Sounds like Saver Hack(u)mon might have been about right, being a sort of portmanteau of Savior and Saber.
