Keeping a website up to date costs time and/or money. Why should a writer bother to keep the website up to date if no one who reads her stories likes them enough to send her an e-mail saying so - or regards her as "some kind of weirdo" who may produce a story you liked but who can't be trusted with a communication saying so.

I very much dislike people telling me that it's solely the reader's fault if an author deletes his/her stories.

I bet you do. But of course it is. Why bother keeping stories online if no one reads them? How do you know anyone's reading them if no one ever leaves feedback.
