    It says it's offline temporarily. So I wouldn't say "was" quite yet. Their site suggests they plan to post updates on social media accounts (such as Twitter/X, Bluesky, and Mastadon).

    It seems to be back online again. All good.
    Yes, it is an important website. I hope it gets funded always to store our digital legacy.
