Personal Blacklist is an official Google extension, it just doesn't sync with anything or save to a database. At least for my purposes, I don't need it anywhere but my desktop machine to help out in result pruning (experts exchange, fixya).

Their offered download link doesn't even work for me, it just notifies me of its shutdown.

After you go to that link and read the notification, there is another link to download the blocklist as a plain-text file. Mine contained a number of domains I've added during the years.

It's quite interesting to see all the domains I've blocked so far :)

Mine was surprisingly short..

www.w3schools.com

Well I had all those sites that scrape StackOverflow added to my list.

I love that SO uses a CC license but it does have some unintended consequences.

Is there a public list of such site? I think I'd find it quite useful (for my own blocking).

I don't think there is. I did it on a case-by-case basis.

They also use these domains: w3schools.com ww.w3schools.com wwww.w3schools.com

Probably others too.

Are you logged in? There is a link at the bottom of the page to download it. It isn't very prominent; I almost missed it.

im not getting it either: http://d.pr/i/CMx0

Neither am I. Could it be because I don't have any sites blocked?

It's either that, or a bug... And I can't really know which.
