Right, I know that GUIS was co-subbing Kakuranger with Hikari Senshi but have been handling it solo for the last few episodes because HS has been completely incommunicado.

It's an unfortunate reality of fansubbing; this is just a hobby for the people who do it and if they get bored or too busy it's a pretty easy hobby to drop. I'll always remember the story of SCS, one of the groups that had taken on Kuuga back before it was fully subbed. They got thirteen episodes done and then decided to take a break over the holidays. During that period their main translator started playing a lot of video games and never came back. There's also the guy that was translating Stronger for MCS; he just completely vanished off the face of the internet about halfway through translating the series.

Of course, on the other hand you have guys like PAL who does Century Kings. It took him years to fully sub Black, but he pulled it off in the end, even when it took him eight months to find the time to squeeze in a single episode.
