It was hacked quite awhile back along with MetCoverArt and they deleted the entire site pretty much. Caleb had very little of the cover art backed up for BCA, so its been a slow rebuild unlike MCA.

That is not the case! A LOT of the covers on BCA were restored in expense of many months work. I prefer to not reveal the reasons for current issues until the site is back up. But it's not a hack or any loss of data.
