I don't what the situation is with MaxFisch.com.

I remember back in the day I was on a web board owned by a cookbook author. The web board had been up for a long time. There was a community there ( which the cookbook author regularly participated in ) where people knew each other for many years.

The author never posted a date when the web board would be gone, just that it would go in the near future.

I own web sites. I know what the end dates are for when I have through. It would be easy to have a date to post for when the money for a site would run out or when an author would decide to take a site down.

I never understood why she didn't tell people that date.
