Most older members are probably emotionally tied to this site since it was best faucet, and it was source of first free BTC to many people.
If I knew about it earlier (in 2015) I would have probably have much more BTC than I have now.
As for project development, I didn't notice much development in years. Last thing I remember was added option to exchange RP to free spins
You have nailed it. It's hard not to get emotionally tied to site where I got my first BTC. And after long years in business, building their reputation it's hard to simply leave them and go on, even when you see that things isn't going well. If it would be any other random website, I would have abandoned and forgotten it long time ago.
It's not a belief, I'm 99.9% sure of it. If the ownership didn't change, I'd be extremely surprised because way too many things point to that being the case. Not just the downtime and all but other things as well that haven't been talked about here.
Yeah, I agree. It's just difficult to believe that after long years of smooth operations things would go in such way with same owners. But as they're not communicating, it's impossible to tell it 100%
