> Stating the obvious that I don't see in this thread yet: If there really is an active community around it that wants to keep this alive, why don't those people get active, cut some deal with Amazon and then run the show on their own?

As other commenters have noted, its likely not worth the effort to Amazon to transition it regardless of how much money someone might pay.

That said, I would happily take over ownership and hosting of the site. At a bare minimum, as a static snapshot of the site, and best case (assuming the infrastructure they have setup is manageable), as the full site. Email is in my profile if anyone at Amazon is listening.
