I do not understand: what is the problem ?

Jim bought this site from Nick with a common understanding. To keep this site "free section" as free as is. I don't know if there is any black and write stuff on this but I would rather think it as an "for good faith" ( I don't know if I using the right term)

Jim and his team keep this promise. They have some plan in mind, however, they need agreement from the current copyright holder of bluemax to do so.

It seems that the current copyright holder also have something in mind. And Jim prefer at the current time, keep the site as is. In technical terms, a code-freeze.

For some advanced players they may get frustrated/ annoyed or even angry of why the site last major improvement (the league system) is almost 5+ years ago. That is the reason.
