Yahoo and Inktomi paid inclusion

Hello,

Two years ago I paid Inktomi for a few sites to be listed in their results. It did not bring any results, so after a pre-paid year - I quit.

Now, after Yahoo bought Inktomi - I noticed that Slurp (their robot) is not coming to any of the sites I paid for previously. Or - in some cases, it does come just to read robots.txt, and the home page - but does not continue crawling the rest, and does not add anything to Yahoo (checking the site: gives 0 pages)

Did anyone have the same problem, and what is the cure?
How to tell Inktomi to forget about my sites and start fresh?

Thank you

P.S. I remember a message from Inktomi offering to switch to Overture's SiteMatch - but I refused. I think, it's too expensive to pay annual fee, and also per-click fee for each page of the site.

There are many. This one, for instance:

http://tiv.net/

Site is quite old, and until this year was ranked very well.

Now Yahoo says: 0 pages:
