Been there, done that, threw the T-shirt away last year.
Near the end of January 2009 I put out some feelers that I was
thinking about reviving Dad's list. The response was very
underwhelming, in fact it was downright apathetic. How apathetic you
ask? For example, there were 3 total responses on the GRC forums. I
considered trashing the idea right then and there. But I put Dad's
website back up anyway with an updated list and immediately began to
draw flack, much like Dad did, about where I was hosting it.
Dad used free hosts and said if it ever cost him a penny he'd take it
down. Well, I happen to know he paid the fees for no ads after a few
people mentioned them and he kept quiet about it. I guess no one
noticed that suddenly no one was seeing/mentioning the ads any more.
I, also, had paid the no ads fees to my host (so much for free).
I updated it for a couple of months, then just quit and left it
sitting online, unupdated, for another several months. Apparently no
one noticed or cared. So, one day I just pulled it down with no
notice or explanation. Again, no one noticed or cared, because there
was nothing said about it anywhere I could find.
So, sadly, no, I have no plans for wasting any more money or time on
it (there's close to an hour's worth of research for each item added),
but I did feel an explanation of why not was called for...just for the
record, if nothing else.
