It's nothing intrinsic to The Prophet. The same reason we lose interest in anything; we get distracted and aren't very dedicated. I have paid no attention to Lojban for several months while I've been the chair of Penguicon 2009. I told the Board in December that I'm not going to do anything until May 2009 when I'm done with Penguicon. The bottom line is, we all stop work whenever we're busy working on something else. -Eppcott
