What's up with samdean archive?

Hi guys, I've been having a bit of a problem lately. I cannot load any page from the samdean archive. I've already tried to use different phones, computer - yet nothing works. Is any of you having the same problem? Is there a way to solve it? (or is it - hopefully - just temporary?)
I know there has been similar entry two or so weeks ago but they apparently managed to solve it but it haven't worked for me.
I don't want to spread panic or anything, I just want to know whether the problem is on my side or something else :( I may be going a little bit crazy...

It's not you; it is the site.

If you scroll down the comments in this post, you will see an explanation of the situation by [livejournal.com profile] meus_venator.

Yeah, I was asking about this too. It was down for a few days, then came back up, but now seems to be completely down. Worse still, when I tried a couple of days ago, I got the message that the profile was purged! I'm seriously hoping that it's not actually the case, as there are a lot of tics on there that I've never found posted anywhere else. 😳😳😭😭

The Wayback Machine (https://archive.org/web/) has a number of them (https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://samdean.archive.nu/*) - actual story links begin on page 20. It's definitely easier to find a story if you know the story number from the archive.

Search options. Replace "2479" with the number of the story you are looking for:

To see if the full story (all chapters) has been cached:
"http://samdean.archive.nu/viewstory.php?action=printable&textsize=0&sid=2479&chapter=all"

To see if the story has been cached at all:
"http://samdean.archive.nu/viewstory.php?sid=2479"

To look for a particular chapter (also works for stories with only 1 chapter):
"http://samdean.archive.nu/viewstory.php?action=printable&textsize=0&sid=2479&chapter=1"

Found it! Found it! The Wayback machine has it saved! It's kind of slow, but its there! You have to sign up, get a virtual library card...its free. Then search samdean.achive.nu choose the last date, June 2016. Be patient! But it's there!
