What was the reason Spike left the site?

He was mainly concerned that his association with prepatched content would hinder the site's potential. Some people were unclear about his exact role here, but most were completely fine with him just being the owner. I imagine he had other considerations, as well. Ultimately, it was his decision to keep it simple.
 
I don't know what he meant by "he was the problem."
From what I remember, Spike mostly left because of disagreements/drama within the community and staff at the time.

A lot of old ROM hacking communities went through periods like that unfortunately. People get burned out, lose motivation, or move on to other projects/sites.

Not sure if there was ever one single “official” reason though.

Newer uploads are indeed disabled, but you can still download some of the older archived files there. Head on over to RetroGameTalk, where they have a message board and a very large active community. Create an account there and just poke around the site a bit, and you'll find what you're looking for.
