A website like this shouldn't have a single point of failure (i.e. ioi) around the one thing that gives this site a point of difference. If the explanation is simply that ioi is out of action for whatever reason then that is no better than that the site is stealthily going off line. If ioi is laid up for some reason for 6 months then the site is a bust anyway even if he plans to get back onto the job, unless there is a team that can keep the numbers rolling with some degree of consistency.
