Again, with all due respect to Steve, I think that's incredibly disrespectful of him to make a snap decision to shut down a massive internet community which was built on work of many people, not only him. I don't know what goes behind the scenes, but moderators of this forum seemed to be dedicated and have put a lot of effort into this community. So did many active members. It would be one thing to shut down your blog, your facebook profile or your twitter account, things that you've built on your own. It's another thing to shut down a community which was built by tens of intelligent people. The fact that these forums were started by you and that they are still under your name doesn't change the fact that many people put a lot of their time and efforts into a community which you're willing to throw away simply because you don't feel like it anymore.
