I know I am a bit late, because I know it's been down for a while, but I cling to the hope for it coming back. Now, months have passed, and it seems to remain offline. What has happened? Did I miss something?
That hasn't belonged to anything actually WAM related for a long time.
Shortly after Bill Shipton's passing it expired and was grabbed by someone who put up a non-working copy of the original website, thought to be to do with either sending traffic to their own site, and/or boosting pagerank of their own site. Eventually they also dropped it and now it seems to belong to a generic search system.
I don't think it'll be coming back unless a millionaire splosher wants to buy it at inflated price from whoever now owns it.

But I remember the later version of site (sploshuk.co.uk) is maintained by Saturation Hall, right? I also remember it being active till last year.
We hosted it, but given it had full on nudity etc and hence counts as pornographic, would now require to be behind an age verification system, so when the new UK laws came in, had to shut it down.
