He probably burned out as he was heading into the direction of /pol/, I hope to god he kept an archive of everything so that it could be reposted someday and kept any email communications with himself private.
Billy was forced by authorities to turn his site into a honeypot, but although they could force him to hand over data on users, they could not force him to actually write articles, so he just left the site to die and only published ads. Now someone from Resetera was dumb enough to actually buy the site to "dunk on the Nazis" and immediately announced a hate speech policy to cause butthurt, not knowing that Billy had already given up on the site in order to protect the userbase. Thus Billy became the unsung hero, forever misunderstood. He might not be the hero we wanted, but he was the hero we deserved.
And why exactly did he sell the site to people he knows would go against the spirit of everything the original site stands for. ?
Money, fatigue, fear... there are plenty of reasons. I hope he got paid well because it is worthless now.

burnt out i can understand but why didn't he sell it to someone he would know would preserve the site as it was. ?

I just made this up, by the way.
