I rarely get into these furballs, but I feel a need to comment. Take it for what you will. 1- There are still SOME freebies up at the link you posted. That site has been modified since Taruru-san's death. That implies that someone has taken the time to think about what was to be offered, and make that offering a reality. Taruru-san's site is not simply derelict, it was updated. 2- You might try locating some of the Japanese members, many speak excellent English, and are quite helpful IF you approach them in a respectful manner. Good luck.
