I saw that...when it went away I checked WHOIS and noticed it said "Client renew prohibited, client transfer prohibited, client update prohibited." Had thought perhaps the original webmaster had been compensated to go away...but your observations make sense. I ran a website gratis for 5 years once to help promote a performing artist a few years back, so I understand the kind of time and dedication it takes.
Bad Rudy was a great resource for us at the time though. My thanks and appreciation to whoever it was...
