I'm kind of surprised that the Anime Addventure has so consistently and effectively excluded automated spam. I expected it to go the way of Usenet newsgroups and poorly-managed WordPress installations before suffering the final abandonment, but not a single product placement is to be found! (Obviously, spam gets deleted whenever it is put up, but if there were automated spam networks posting to the AA, the spam would go up faster than it could be taken down.)
Anyway, it can be difficult to predict how long a cobweb site will stick around. If Bast! owns the server hardware and domain name, and has a cheap uplink, it'll probably hang around until somebody sets up an automated spammer to post there, which could easily take a decade or more. If ey made hosting or domain-registration arrangements through another party, then it'll have a couple of years tops once ey decides that the site is dead. In either case, neither panic nor dawdle: the Anime Addventure won't be vanishing any time terribly soon, but we won't get much (possibly we won't get any) warning when its time does come.
