Because it was in the interest of several staff, or ex-staff users to close the wiki, or at least keep it around as an archive because none of us could get rid of it.

This wiki bears scars of old drama I'd love to dispose of completely- the only reason it hasn't been purged completely is because I am unable to find the special button to do so anymore. If it's at all possible to close this cesspool, I'd love to.

Fanfiction.net and Quora are simply better platforms for fanfiction- wikia had its time, but unfortunately it doesn't live up to be what it once was. If the user wished to continue using wikia as a platform for fanfiction, I don't see why they wouldn't just either create their own wiki without the hassle of obtaining admin rights, or simply joined another one to contribute to a larger group of already active users on an already developed platform. This wiki does have its meta, but that meta simply isn't good. Because of a simple misconception on boss health (my fault), its meta was blown out of proportion. The meta ruins the wiki, and the misconception forces users to compensate for overpowered bosses.

After reading around and going on message pages and blog posts, it's clear that this wiki had its day, but went to hell after awhile with heavy blame on me, as well as a few other users. Again, I and other staff members would love to close it. None of us have a good taste in our mouths when thinking about the downfall of this place, and would feel better if it were gone. However, again, I cannot find this button so it remains an archive. If there was any way to get rid of this wiki, I'd be all for it. Until that glorious day, it would have to remain an archive.
