I don't buy that... I was maintaining a large website (the Passenger Car Photo Index) back when I was still working full-time and accomplished a great deal with my spare time. And as each new update was being put together there was always measurable progress... which is not happening with TrainLife. There does not appear to be any indicator that anything has been restored since the site first went down and that is sad. The website was a great resource and there was measurable progress as they steadily worked at improving it... now its like nothing at all is being done and nothing has been done in quite a while.
And that might be the case. From what I remember, your site, while large, content-wise, is all mostly flat HTML.
Trainlife's site seemed significantly more complicated, and fixing that stuff can often get pretty "un-fun". I know, I'm in the same boat. We need to upgrade the CRHS site to a newer version of the software it uses, but it's a
major undertaking, and there's no compelling sense of satisfaction in it that drives me to go do it (instead of, say, working on my layout).
