Been a while since it was updated; anyone know why it's been so long?

Just a guess, but how about "It doesn't pay well"?

Mark Wade doesn't do it for money.

That's kind of my point. Working for a living and other things like family
obligations, always take priority over hobbies.

I would have thought there'd be an announcement of some sort, that's all.

If he wasn't, then the monthly payment to the ISP that hosts the site
would end, and the website would vanish.
Ergo...it continues to exist, which means that the ISP is getting paid

financially solvent in one form or another. :-)

Or he established a trust to keep it on line.

Or he saves a few bucks by paying by the year
