Last year, there were a number of attacks made on the service which due to its 'write-only' nature makes it impossible to clean up [2] [3].

I don't see that being valuable enough to actually invest the effort
into doing it and maintaining it long term.  If others are interested
in hosting such a service, that would likely be welcome.
