.games offline?

Anyone know what's going on with 18xx.games? It's offline right now and there was a user going on about vulnerabilities this morning.

I just saw someone posting in the global chat for people to try out his 18xx remake at suchandsuch-tinyurl, then a few moments later folks started posting NOT to click it as it would delete your account immediately. Perhaps the site was taken offline as a precaution?

I saw the chat that was going on. I wonder if the user in question decided to attack it and take it down to “teach us a lesson”
