Here's my take on it...seeing as I had some inside knowledge.
Back when FanHome merged with TheInsiders servers costs were through the roof. Either a merger or some rich dude with loads of money was needed badly. Since no rich dudes came forward Kevin did the only thing he could think of to keep the community together...merge with TheInsiders (later to become Scout).
Nowadays...server costs are more manageable and with the help of the renegades who formed TSB Kevin was able to help FanHome break free from Scout's grasp. But unfortunately Scout didn't let him contact everyone to let them know FanHome was going to be reborn.
That's where it stands now. It will be a process, but I hope you'll stick around. Things will get better. I'm sure of it
