i mean the thing is is that a majority of the people currently working for/under homestuck/what pumpkin in an official capacity are doing it in their spare time. i doubt the earnings from the patreon split like, 5-6 ways (however many team members there are) is enough to support anyone substantially over time, especially considering how fluctuating things like that can be. so its a matter of like. repairing the website will already take time, PLUS on top of that, whatever time they dedicate to repairing the website has to be done between shifts in another job (if they have one, i have no doubt that some of the current members dont), and then that time spent repairing the website could be used for doing cool stuff like fraf, or hs:bc's entire site setup, or ect ect ect.

OBVIOUSLY i dont have a real view into the internal affairs of the HICU or WPs so i'm just kind of going off of conjecture here. and like, i think honestly there should've been some small efforts to put the website back up at the same time negotiations were going on, maybe. but i get why they wouldnt want to prioritize that with such a small team.
