Why is it dead?
Well, I started a new job and have less time to work on it. Rapidsearch being what it is, it tends to slowly fall apart unless given constant care. I've not really have the time or the interest to keep up with that recent. On top of all this, there's currently a big push by some american hentai license owners to kill illegal distribution of their work. I'm fine with getting DMCA notices over a link or two, but if I'm not keeping up with the site there's every possibility that I'll get a DMCA notice with a short timeframe that I won't get to in time. My account might be disabled or I might even get kicked off my host. Since I host other sites (That are still running) on this server, I'd rather that not happen. With REDACTED and BrowseHentai filling much the same niche as rapidsearch, I'm not too worried about "the community" being deprived a vital service. Sorry! Rapidsearch has been a ton of fun to work on over the years, but it's gotten to the point where I simply can't devote as much time as I used to.
