Wasn't too long ago, I checked it and it seem dead like 6 months ago. Dead, just like the mini. jk, the mini is alive and well and in need of attention!
 
Their domain registration was renewed on/around Jan 15th as well. I wonder if someone else now owns the domain?
[doublepost=1457363797][/doublepost]Looks like it's with the same registrant as it was the past year or two. So my next bet is on DNS screwups.
 
I tried the wayback machine and I think (going from memory) the last snapshot was from about mid-Jan (could have been the 15th). There was no notice I saw on the front page or in any of the forums about shutting down. I also went to the Twitter site and it hasn't been updated in quite a while (and no notice of a shutdown).
