What we consider "decent" today is not always "decent" tomorrow and things like personal blogs go down all the time or change their URL structure. Also not everyone has a community/family that will keep their work online after they are gone and I don't want to lose content because someone's hosting lapsed after their death.

Looking back I wish I had archived some of the forums that I used as a kid as a number of them are just gone, no wayback machine, no cache, no archive, just gone.

Sidenote: I'd love to work or just use on a service that can will allow for community funding of both hosting/domain reg so that you could add a widget on your site and have it stay online even after your death as long as people donate, maybe even make the site static if no one can pay and use proceeds from other sites to float the cost. There is a chance that you could die and your close friends/relative would either not have the access (password/key) or technical know-how to keep your site online even if they had the funds to do so
