On that subject:
Edward, I understand your disappointment. It is reasonable and natural to become emotionally invested in the wellbeing of a community in which you have contributed. We have all contributed to JKHub too, whether by regular early use or with free hosting and administration services, and regardless of our individual opinions about the future of the site we all do notice and appreciate the great community that has been built around it.
Unfortunately, the administrators of jkhub have been neglectful. CM only agreed to host the site, but over the years he has had to do more and more in to keep the site running. That's responsibility he never wanted, but he did it anyway because he saw the value that the jkhub community offered. Unfortunately he doesn't have time to do that free work anymore, and neither does Brian.
That's why comments like yours aren't helpful. You see us as angry outsiders shutting down a site you enjoy, and that isn't fair. This isn't a vindictive decision, it's just the sad fate of a site when nobody has time for it anymore. Keeping the hub alive ultimately has to fall on Zeq Giraffe or HR.
