As is prone to happen every time life gets busy for our all-volunteer staff here, people declare the site is dead. That is not the case (I just posted about 40 new docs). Is it not being updated as quickly or as often as you would like? Probably. But even figuring out the best way to fix those problems takes time.
The response from the call for editors last year was pretty minimal unfortunately. And of those that did respond, most either very rarely visit the site and/or have never submitted anything. So I have difficulty believing they would actually help much with the workload of going through our backlog. There's maybe one exception who I will be contacting shortly.
I've also been considering setting up some kind of "Assistant Editor" system. This would be for people who don't have the software to create or edit PDFs, but could still be helpful to the editorial staff by fixing naming/categorization issues and flagging uploads as "Duplicate", "Corrupted File", "Banned Doc", "3rd Party Doc", "Bad Page Size", "Provisional Quality", "No Problems Found", etc. when they look through the pending uploads.
I think that having a system like this in place would be a great help to the editors and myself, but it would also require some significant programming effort on my part to set up... so I'd want to know that people would be willing to participate first before I waste my time. Comment here if you're interested.

Sorry the site was down for so long. Between a baby at home and pulling overtime at work I have had very little time to fix things. If you're wondering what happened, some hacker found a vulnerability in the site in December and was using it to spam people with casino ads. So, I had to go in and plug up some security holes. We should be in good shape now.
Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test out everything yet. I'm pretty sure all downloads are working properly. However, I've disabled uploads for now until I have had a chance to fully test them.
Other than that, if you see anything weird with the site make a post in the Bug Reports forum and I'll get to it when I can.
I can't believe every single time i received a email notification about one of my requests threads, it's still that "fifacoins" *****! Why doesn't he die?
