Their URL has has been taken over by an ad site, masquerading as a search engine site. Does anyone know if they are still trying to be operational or did they just die quietly.

http://www.physicshome.tk/physics/ was down earlier today but seems to be up now. If that's the same URL you were using, maybe they took it down to clean it up.

The new URL is OK for me, and I'm crunching some WUs from there right now. Looks like they just ran dry though.

Looking at my tasks it looks like I started getting work again on Sept 29. Not sure what happened before than but it looks like it is back in operation. I hope it stays up.
