is up and running as far as I could tell, although I did not try to sign on. Yet the Web of Trust (WoT) gives the site a poor rating, which generally means users have run into malware. But, because WoT relies on voluntary user ratings, it wouldn't be hard to have trolls give the site a false "danger" rating. There is also the possibility the site had to use a server which is under attack, or is unreliable for some reason.
I checked again at 7.30 p.m. EST on 02/04/19 and got the same result. Hence, what we have is harassment intended to deter use. Who is doing it is not clear as it is rather easy to set up some sort of automated bum-rating gizmo.
