A site that I maintain that hits their server also went down. It's still
not working. I downloaded their example timeline project from the Simile
web site and it doesn't run against their server either, at least not while
hosted from my machine. I had to add to the html to get their example to
work against their server when running from my machine. I believe
something changed or was altered on their server so that our production
code that was working no longer works. I guess it would be best in the
future to download their libraries and not depend upon their servers
directly. If I had written the original app it's what I would have done
anyway. The code I updated to get their example working is as shown below.
I haven't had time to update our production app yet. It's a beautiful
tool they've built though : )

Timeline_urlPrefix='http://localhost:8080/timeline_2.3.0/timeline_js/';
Timeline_parameters='bundle=true';
