Sorry for the super late reply.

The old Spore website had millions of Spore creations uploaded to it. I'm guessing that this averages to several TERABYTES of data. The reason the site is offline is because they are moving all of that data to a new center (and just one terabyte can take a whole month to upload/download). Spore probably won't be back online for a few more months, and when it comes back online, so many people will probably share so many creations at once, they might crash the site again like a ddos. But don't worry, they won't shut down Spore anytime soon.
