What was the reason Spike left the site?

I don't know what he meant by "he was the problem."

He was mainly concerned that his association with prepatched content would hinder the site's potential. Some people were unclear about his exact role here, but most were completely fine with him just being the owner. I imagine he had other considerations, as well. Ultimately, it was his decision to keep it simple.

It was because Spike owned that CDRomance website.
