What is the reason why most of the information in "Coin Facts" is 5+ years out of date?

I was browsing through "Coin Facts" today and noted that the information about individual coins [auction results and top pop grades assgined by TPGs] is, at best, dated only up to 2003.

What is the reason why the information is not of more recent vintage?

    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    I'm sure that PCGS is redesigning the site for better functionality.

    Maybe even tie it into the Price Guide.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Coin facts was Ron Guth's private project which PCGS bought when Ron became President. It looks like it has been dormant ever since. Maybe it will be incorporated into the Wiki site.

    Seems that was the last time it was updated. Maybe they should look for volunteers from the coin community to keep it more up to date.
