1.) maintaining an own website is a lot of work
Though it is true that most of the time is 99% perspiration, you have to admit that once done, people admire what you have done. However, you don't need update it frequently. I made a Snow Drop (cheap plug-in!) page long time ago, and I haven't even bother to check for it since. Even then, I receive an email once a month asking about where to get the game and/or get tips and hints. Guess what? I direct them to the BBS.

Have you looked at Tripod? Sure, there are ads, but, then again, there is no such things as a free lunch.

Competition is what drives other people to improve. In fact, you can even put a different point of view from hers.

You don't HAVE to learn HTML. There are plenty of GUI HTML editors that does the coding for you. Though the end result is not the most elegant in some cases, it is a workable solution.

Rather, think of it as a chance to show others where to get the "real" thing. If they keep on with stupidities, you can always choose to ignore them.
However, if you still don't want to do it, hey, I won't force you. But, unlike SB, I won't say it's a shame...
