Sounds like the derainbow script would do more harm than good? The main strong point of this source is the detail and lack of digital processing, so I'm glad you decided to skip the derainbow.

The page for your first version is still there. It's just marked "dead" so it only comes up if "active torrents only" is unchecked. I'm relatively new to the myspleen tracker, but I would guess it automatically goes "dead" after not being seeded for a given time(?) Rather than an arbitrary decision by a mod or something like that.
