I remember that case. It was called Candyman after the name of the Yahoo group it busted. Depending on the scope of interest and the accessibility by the general public, the FBI will leave a site up to gather evidence on its members.
I watched the documentary of the bust on FBI Files on cable and watched an interview of one of the people that got busted on 60 Minutes.
Because Candyman was a private yahoo group who'd membership was not searchable in the Yahoo groups searchable database, the site was left "open" but not allowed to receive new members.
If someone ran a child porn site on US soil and was a US webmaster, the FBI would shut it down right away if it was able to be found reasonable easy in Google.
