Only the clueless would use that database.

Final thoughts: It's my script, if I want to remove a database (with or without justification), my prerogative. I provide it freely to any and all that want to use it. If you or anyone else doesn't like that I have removed a signature database that is no longer being updated, then don't use my script. That's your choice - there are other scripts available or you can write your own and use it however you would like. So now please crawl back under your rock and hibernate for a few more years while others maintain your project for you.
