They seem to be online via Tor, but have temporarily taken down whatever proxy/server their .net domain points to for the last ~week for reasons. It's likely that they will put their stuff back online though. And before that they were online on clearnet for many weeks and thwarting DDoS fine.

The owner has been posting updates on telegram. He didn’t take it down. The tier 1 ISP Zayo blackholes his IP.

He has VPS providers willing to host the site but there are only 16 tier 1 ISPs and now that they are engaging in censorship, it’s impossible to run anything but a tor site. And the owner stated that if he is unable to get back on the clear net he will shut the site down and change name.

Does 'blackhole' imply that Zayo accepted packets for delivery and then threw them away ? Because if UPS had done that, someone would have gone to prison.
Looks like it's back online, anon.
