What happened to this addon? It seems to have disappeared entirely from the site, as well as the author himself, NIN.

I think you answered your own question. Addon authors are just people. They lose interest in WoW, things happen and they don't have time for WoW anymore, etc.

Yeah, but to delete the addon and their account? I just assumed it was something other than that, the author has stopped playing before, but left both intact.

If I were ever to decide I were quitting and not coming back, I would delete my addons, too. Better that than let them sit around and slowly break over time and let people wonder why I wasn't fixing anything.

People will see that an addon is abandoned. Deleting it would just rip it out of the world. However, leaving it there will open up possibilities. Like someone else picking it up or posting a fix in the comments, inspiring others with a specific style, layout or code, yourself returning - which is what I did and would have lost all and everything after over a year of absence and I too thought I wouldn't play again, ever.

I don't see the point in laying waste to your own work, even if you move on. It's like an artist burning his pictures, or an architect razing his buildings. Some emotional crap for sure, but nothing making sense.
