       @ErsatzCulture They're not just inaccessible, they're gone.

       @ErsatzCulture The most recent snapshot of the English-language version on the Wayback Machine is yesterday, November 11. The most recent Chinese snapshot is November 6.

       @gmcgath The IP address for both was 47.110.216.168 (which I had the foresight to note down when the online site disappeared).Unfortunately the /etc/hosts hack doesn't work this time - you get HTTPS warnings, and if you force your way past those, you get a server error page.

       @ErsatzCulture The IP address still responds to pings, but that proves nothing. It could have been a shared address, as is common for hosted websites.

       Both EN and ZH sites are back now - they're on a different IP address now than they were ~2 weeks ago, so I guess some sort of migration or admin change occurred?

       @ErsatzCulture It looks completely different from the old site, at least with Javascript disabled. Out of caution, I don't enable Javascript for Chinese sites, and this new version is nearly unusable without it.

       @gmcgath Seems the same for me?I know when I initially checked it on a machine with a much smaller monitor, it looked different from what I'd seen before on a 4k screen, but I assumed that was just a responsive design thing.  If I look at the EN site on that 4k screen now, it seems the same as before.

       @ErsatzCulture What I'm seeing now is different from what I saw earlier. They may be hard at work restoring the site even as we're exchanging posts.
