Most takedowns are not irate authors complaining to web hosts. That happened to me once (or maybe twice), and obviously happened to Jay and Acacia; for the most part, though, it's pretty rare.

Most missions vanish because their hosts just drop them. We lost a lot in the fall of Geocities; we're losing a fair bit now because Webs.com have been having a cleanout.

And... well, we already have an archive for those old missions which are under threat. PPC: The Lost Tales, run by Neshomeh. For that matter, I've rehosted a few myself, and I know others have as well.

And finally... uh, you're very new. I'd love to think you're going to stick around for decades to come, but there's only a handful of people here who've made it through the last decade. So if one person sets themselves up as the host for all PPC works, what that's likely to mean is that we lose everything when they let the site lapse.
