Hi, I got an email from my web host today about this, saying they shutdown the site. Currently it is on a shared server and was devouring all the resources of the box. Below is the email I recieved from them.

Hello,
I'm writing to inform you that we had to disable your firsttopsite.com
domain because it was running a topsite button script and the traffic to
it was using up all of the available connection slots on your web
service. Since you are on a shared hosting service and it is affecting
other customers' sites, this is not something that we can allow to
happen. If you would like to continue hosting this type of script you
will have to upgrade to our vps service:
http://www.dreamhostps.com
This will set you up on your own virtual server where you will not affect
other customers' sites. If you do not wish to go with a VPS plan, you
will need to remove the topsite button script before we can allow you to
continue hosting your site on the shared hosting platform. Unfortunately,
because of the strain these types of sites put on our servers, these are
your only two options. Please let us know how you'd like to proceed and
we'll be happy to assist you further.
Thanks!

I cannot afford to move this to a VPS system, so its looking like the topsite will be no more....unless something miraculous happens.
If someone wants to move it to their server to keep it alive I'd be more than happy to help you do so.
FYI: The FIRST Topsite was a joint venture between myself (an Alumnus of Team486 and an Alumnus of 1444)
