I think that being webmaster of a website is pretty hard, specially if that's not your main activity. If you work and have a fan website for a music band in your free time is hard. I am a publicist and I have designed some websites as well... I have tried myself a couple times starting a GNR site but I couldn't find the time to finish it and I'm sure it would be very hard to keep it... that's why I quit the idea.
I designed this website twice, I wanted it to be visually rich and different from other, but I have not time enough, so I quit.
It is understandable that somebody spending too much free time in a fan site quits if nothing happens in too much years ! I always wonder myself how Jarmo could keep HTGTH for so long.. does he have a job or something ?
Just kiddin, I appreciate this website too much.
Even havin' a content manager, administering a site and a bulleting board takes time.
