What happened to Gavin's faucet? (Is there any archived info about that)

Gavin was giving away 5 bitcoins at the beginning. The earliest achieves date back to July 2010 when that offer was still available.

As the value of Bitcoin increased, Gavin naturally lowered to faucet amounts. In August of the same year it was down to 0.05 bitcoins.

This was later lowered to 0.005 bitcoin and I think the last faucet drops were 0.001 bitcoin. Somewhere towards the end of 2012 the faucet no longer gave out any more bitcoins. I think I read somewhere that Gavin gave away over 20.000 bitcoins through his faucet in the early days. He was instrumental in fueling the early adoption.
