Silence7 went off of the radar for his own reasons. I am certain it was tough for him to maintain. I don't think it was the cost factor. When the Beasties were conquering the world and every tidbit of new info was exciting, S7 was right in the middle of everything, Beastiemania was the same way. The hassle factor is probably directly on point. I think he hosted 60+ remixers. He built the site so that remixes didn't disappear from the internet. Then he took his own time and money to provide joy to anyone who wanted beastie remixes for free. I can't get in touch with him now, but the last I heard he was very interested in micro photography with a focus on insects, and was developing a very keen interest in frying pans (no shit). Either way I miss him.
