The problem is that there is no mechanism nor person in place to lift it out of the grave in any meaningful state. The site needs someone who isn't Hiro that is both enterprising/passionate/altruistic enough to devote their time and money to make it usable and to rid it of all the problems that led to this in the first place.
The main admin is MIA, the jannies are all gum-toothed retards who can't be bothered to register with a non-identifying email, and half the posters want to see it burn anyways. The truth is that the site has never been profitable and it's a giant pain in the ass to manage, and no one is stupid or charitable enough to make it whole without some sort of side-angle or grift.
Look at all the people on social media claiming they want to buy and restore it, they're all grifters.
If it ever comes back it'll be even more ghoulish than before.
