Weebly is only free under 500 MB of content. OGA could burn through that with 3 of the large art submissions. On the other hand, I'm sure there are some more cost effective options than what is currently in use. It might be worth looking into.
@unenergizer: can you showcase the comparable website? If it is as easy and similar as you say, it would be worth a try. :)
This site gets a lot of traffic and runs some pretty complex scripts. It may require some fancier-than-average hosting features. I don't see how it would cost that much still, but maybe migrating to a new host could cut costs. I have no idea what it would take to do that, though. If anyone here does, is it worth exploring that option?
The general consensus is that you should not link to licensing restrictions that are incompatible with the license you've specified. Would you be willing to revise the prohibitions or change the copyright/attribution link? I have to mark this as having a licensing issue for now.
As mold has indicated, the license prohibitions on your license page are unenforcable. No one will be required to follow them if you upload this here under CC-By.

Mold is right. The additional prohibitions on your licensing page are, in fact, prohibited... by the CC-By license itself disallowing additional restrictions. They are essentially uninforcable so no one is required to adhere to them if you're uploading the assets under the CC-By license.

Just FYI, the license prohibitions on your license page are unenforcable. No one will be required to follow them if you upload this here under CC-By. Also, that Predator character is dangerously close to infringing on 20th Centry Fox's intellectual property.

As horrible as the question is, it is still a legitimate question. Please keep it respectful when responding, everyone. Do not discourage people from asking questions about copyleft.
@OP: as you've probably gathered, the simple answer is no. you cannot copyright something in the public domain. As mold suggested, you could probably copyright a derivative of the work, but it would be 1) pretty rude and 2) not really very effective since people could just use the original for free and however they want.
You can copyright your game code and other assets besides that sprite, but that sprite doesn't actually belong to you. It belongs to me and Surt and mold and Boom Shaka and everyone else (including you in part)
Is the copyright of the game itself (and not every last part of the game) not sufficient?
