What I don't understand is how developers are frowned upon for their willingness to continue old projects regardless of the servers accomplishments.

I think it's because even if such a revival were to come to fruition (which it never has, so there's a lack of examples in order to justify it), there are doubts over whether someone taking a shortcut to success would be the right person to direct such a project after accomplishing it, where they may reach a point where there are no shortcuts. This always happens before such a point is reached however, and always ends up with the project being abandoned, in a less pristine and/or more messy state than when it was inherited, with the reputation of the project shattered.
In Rudora's case, who is there with access to scripting ability on a par with Skyld's? Who also has a compatible vision, the track record, determination and stamina to pull such a feat off?
