Sprite Database, dead?

[MerlinCross]

I might be late to this party but I figured someone here might have an idea about what's up? 

I've used this site and Sprite Database on and off for several years. Mainly off in the last couple but something sparked me to check them out again. So I'm glad to see this site is still around but... 

When I go to Sprite Database it asks for my account and password? Heck depending on the browser I visit with it also sometimes says "Access Restricted(Suspend)". Did the person(people) managing the site disappear or something? Server didn't get paid for? Kinda bummed out if that's the case cause if I couldn't find it here I hit that and vice verse. 

So this might be old news but what's up with that?

I thought that site died years ago.

I'd add in another sentence but frankly this is all I can think of this new years day.

You're not late to the party and it isn't old news. It was still up a few days ago (before 2019) and even recently had an update mentioning the new mobile layout.

I'm guessing its either server related or a failed update, both hopeful guesses. Sprite Database doesn't get as updated as tSR and unlike here, there is only one person running the site. So we would have to wait and see if it goes back up.

It just loaded for me so it was probably a server hiccup or it has a bandwidth limit that got reached.

Hello all, here is a mid-week update for your enjoyment.

So maybe you noticed the site was down for a couple of days. It was a technical problem with our host - I made the necessary fixes they suggested and hopefully it won't happen again. Sorry if anyone was inconvenienced!

Everything is ok! Whew. I was going to be very sad for a sec, there.

Oh sweet.

Again, something sparked me to look up some old sprites and I just hopped on the first two I know of. Glad to see it's not dead, I was gonna be a bit sad. Glad it's back and thanks for humoring me.
