I got a reply from Brian.  I won't post the email he sent as he didn't 
indicate it was for publication.

It appears that Thoth will not continue.  Basically not enough 
purchasers to make it even pay for itself, which includes the domain 
and hosting fees.

I always had good service and support from Brian.  When I emailed with 
issues, he fixed them and provided some test versions along the way to 
what you see now.  I'll be sorry to see it go away which is what will 
happen with no further support.

It is basically a dollars and sense decision on his part, and while I 
wish it was different, I fully understand the issue.

I will make some suggestions to him about how he might find enough 
success, but in the end I doubt it will make a difference.  :(
