The site is definitely up and online.  However we have been under a
strong attack from a combination of sources.  Some explicit DDOS
attacks.  Most are simply rude agressive AI scraper botnets.  When the
thundering herd of those overwhelm the system it can make things
appear to be offline.  Having literally millions of AI scraping bot
clients hammering away is hard to survive.

If you tell us your IP address we can look to see if it has been swept
into the bans that are needed to block the abuse.  You might not want
to send that to public but instead send it to
[email protected] instead and then we can check to see
what is the status of it.  Almost all of our address bans have a
timeout and will eventually reset on its own.  However the length of
the timeout varies and we keep needing to increase the time longer and
longer to deal with the botnets.
