Which is why there is a maintained alternative with IMHO not too bad an 
uptime already that has been referred to by other people here before.

Of course you are free to do with your site as you please, but JFTR and 
JFYI:

I am not amused.

In 2010 you quit, more precisely, you *abandoned* maintenance of the FAQ 
(that is, quitting before a successor was named).  As a result, it had gone 
unmaintained and unfixed for more than 2 years.

My e-mail to you in March 2011 in which I asked you for advice on FAQ 
maintainence has gone unanswered.

December 2012 you were among those who publicly agreed that I should become 
the new maintainer:

<https://twitter.com/xkit/status/275859437732896768>

Following that vote of confidence, I have put considerable effort into 
devising a way to make this work –

<news:2715826.m0UDekTA75@PointedEars.de>

<https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.lang.javascript/yvxh6sd5deU/OVlYGsRKIIYJ>

– and into hosting a FAQ on my site with the goal of becoming the new FAQ:

<http://PointedEars.de/faq>

I have received *no* suggestions for improvements so far over the designated 
channels, especially not by you.  

I know I have not been overly busy there (but elsewhere instead), however
I have already made some improvements on my own:

<http://PointedEars.de/websvn/log.php?repname=FAQs&path=%2Ftrunk%2Fcljs%2F&isdir=1&showchanges=1>

Do you think it is fair play to push the reset button on me now, just by 
popping back after two years of virtual absence?

Something appears to be missing here.
