Also from that thread:
That's a shame.

We're almost down to just newbie pools now.
It is a shame - I had looked at triplemining for my contest as the combined regular pool + lottery would have been a great match-up. It didn't make the cut for other reasons, but the idea is still a very good one.
OP, will you be selling the pool (software) off to any interested parties? This has happened before with a few other pools that were popular but the operator did not want to deal with the overhead anymore. Might be an option.
If not, I hope some of the better features of triplemining will find their way into other pools at some point.
