If I understand correctly, Kromm is literally the only person left doing GURPS full-time. He doesn't have time to edit submissions, run fan sites, search for links, translate games into foreign languages, and so on. Fan pages are literally that; pages run by fans. If the base is dropping, the sites will go away due to lack of support. If the fan base wants GURPS to prosper (and I, for one, do very much want that), then they need to promote it, link sites, volunteer to run tournaments, translate documents for fans, and support the game actively in their communities. If we all wait for GURPS to publish only the number-crunchy wildest dream supplements, we will be left without a game at all.
