Missed that thanks. Sounds like their tech was too complicated to maintain cost effectively.
However, that isn't a valid justification to not open-source the code.
I also read this comment on their blog 'We do this for free, invest our time and money and try to keep this site up and running. So please don't insult us. Instead you should donate to support us.'
Sounds like they weren't really running it like a business and didn't have much idea on how to monetise it. Shame.
Their tech was also notoriously unreliable to the point where I stopped using the site because eventually it was more likely to find it not-working than working.
This might have changed in recent years, but most users were already gone when I last checked.
It's a pity because when it worked, it was a really great site and many people I knew were on it.
