Queen City Wiki is dead after a month

The experiment to create a Cincinnati-themed version of the Wikipedia interface appears to be dead after only a month.

The site came online in late June/early July and, shortly after, I exhorted people to join and contribute content.

Outside of a few entries about Census Designated Places there was pretty much no info added.

Soon, the site feed started coming back "Page Not Found", the website disappeared and numerous attempts to reach the owner of the site were not returned.

I assume that web hosting was paid for at least one year. Why give up after a month?
