Wrongplanet.net dead?

[Nines9]

Has anyone noticed Wrongplanet seems to have been offline for a few days now, this time perhaps the most serious outage?

Anyone knows what happened?

Does not seem to be there.

You could use the Wayback Machine website to look at it:

I had a mooch but it doesn’t seem to pinpoint the moment it went offline.

I'm not overly worried and actually think the site should be put out of its misery now. It just seems to coincide with a sudden surge in complaints and discontent with how the site is run over the last few years, particularly the last few months.

Timing seems odd

Now it's: This page isn’t working. wrongplanet.net is currently unable to handle this request.

I think it got hacked. And Alex had to take it down to fix it. Just a guess. But it's happened before.

This was high on my list. There's no shortage of people who dislike the site.
