I'm guessing at this point that the site was sold, and the new owner doesn't know what he's supposed to do
I have repeatedly seen in this thread posts with speculations that Freebitcoin was sold and that the site now has a new owner. But where did such speculations come from? Even if we assume that this is true, don't you find the current state of the site strange?? What is the point of buying a popular site and not knowing what to do with it, i.e. ruin it?
When a programmer doesn't receive enough documentation about the history of a site that he is now to update or upgrade, what can he do unless stopping areas, one by one, and see the consequences? It can happen without change of ownership.
