I think there is still some manual work involved in running it and the guy needs to sleep sometimes.

I think BitCoinExchange has set rates by the manager of the site, but they do change. BitCoinMarket is a market with the rates based on what other people are willing to trade at.

That sounds like something that can encourage a lot of arbitrage, most likely at the expense of bitcoin exchange if he gets it running again.

I don't think he has all that much at risk, but it seems like with the presence of a floating market he's going to lose it all at some point unless he also becomes a floating market.

Unless he has changed it, his prices adjust dynamically on a curve. It's pretty much impossible to buy all his bitcoins.
