Bitspyder finally dead?

I think we've all seen it coming for awhile. They never fixed their IRCd. Constant outages over the last few months. No reply from Ash or any HEAD moderators. Now the site is down for "maintenance" and it says to go to the IRC. IRC is still down. I am surprised they were getting any donations at this point. I have held off from sending them money specifically because they aren't acknowledging anything. Hopefully someone can chime in on this. Very upset myself as it's been my favorite, as well as the #1 e-learning BitTorrent tracker. Nothing I am on comes REMOTELY close to BitSpyder. I have been with them for 6 or 7 years now.
