State of Music Sack?

Does anyone know what's going on with Music Sack? The server hasn't been responding for the last several days. I have a few anthems by composers not yet represented on IMSLP, and it's difficult to find information sometimes on VIAF or WorldCat

No Idea either. They have had server troubles a while back as well last year I believe, and it was offline for quite a while.

It's been down for a month, I think.
May I ask which composers? I sometimes have a little success hunting down info in digitized obituary articles, etc. etc. ... ... ... . (Not quite as easy as rolling off a nekro log, but...)

I tried to contact the manager (Frank Greene) for information and offering help for hosting if needed. Awaiting for his reply.

It's currently loading a page (that's an improvement) but it's a placeholder that suggests the domain may have been sold.

Does imslp have a robot to remove all present MusicSack links? e.g.
