I have a couple of old projects, some also on HN, that I abandoned. Most of them had static sites, so I moved them to GitHub Pages, but didn't renew their domains.
To answer why: these were all side projects. Over the years, I created at least a dozen, and I can't maintain them all. Most are obsolete. Their last update is many years old. The websites are usually not mobile-friendly. Some had links to sites like Google+ that do not exist anymore.
Every minute I spend on updating old sites is a minute I can't spend on the newer stuff I am working on.
