There is a place out there that allows you to host similar information on your own servers. Essentially it is a DB that you do your own lookups. I have used it a lot in the past on my websites to direct traffic.

The iMob folks need to look at that instead of bringing down a public free offering like that. I know it was not done intentionally, but they should be able to take care of it, and put the burden of themselves if they so choose. Of course I guess the game wouldn't be free then.
