Rumors of the death of the operator exist, although no "official"
confirmation.
Because no news from the operator occured, I think the death theory
might be realistic.

I spoke with Paolo Amoroso (aioe admin) at one time, concerned about the
disappearance of aioe. He was seriously ill. He never responded to my
followup email.

I also found this thread (sorry for linking to GG):

Note that there's another Paolo Amoroso on the Usenet who has nothing to
do with aioe.

The hard disk died, and Roman never got around to reinstall the machine,
AFAIK. (It's one thing to keep a piece of complex software you didn't
create running; it's another thing to set it up again from scratch.)
