I don't know what you could do other than promote the game, provide links 
to the other sites that support BNW with materials, provide your own 
materials occasionally (or places for other people to put stuff -- this 
will increase traffic and interest), and basically that sort of thing.  To 
save the game requires someone to buy it and put the money into publishing 
it.  I know a couple of companies looked at it, but declined for one reason 
or another.  I don't know if price, low sales, or another reason was 
involved in the lack of purchase of the line, but I can see that the first 
two were probably factors, plus the fact that a lot of companies would want 
the line converted to their house system or d20, or to perhaps have greater 
control than Matt would like (I don't know how much of a part of the deal 
Matt would be, and what rights/controls he still has on the line versus 
what AEG owns).

All of it adds up to being rather complicated to save the game as a 
published line.

THat being said, at Origins AEG did have a nice BNW display at their booth, 
which wasn't quite lost in the Warlord push.  I did get to play in Snuff 
Club, which was a neat little investigative adventure, and I even got to 
play a TK, which is one of my favorite power packages.
