It appears the domain has been grabbed by someone and is now parked via parkingcrew.net.

According to SecurityTrails the last change to the NS record happened on 2020-03-23.

This is definitely a major issue. :frowning:

The domain is now being offered at an auction price of 516 €: image

I think it's safe to say that it's not coming back.

@mootari Oh wow... maybe another domain, then?

Unlikely. With the original domain gone, even the argument to restore the service for the sake of existing links is void. All that'd be left is a service that costs its owner time and money, is likely to be heavily abused and can be replaced through other means (githack, glitch etc).

A while back there was a Patreon for crossorigin.me (with a tiny number of patrons) that probably didn't even cover the costs back then.
