Thanks @Edie@hexbear.net for letting me know about this!
The .org domain was apparently suspended, but the other ones are fine (.li, .se, .pm, .in). Their Wikipedia page should have an updated list of domains if this happens again.
The Reddit post from the archive team about this is linked, with the full text copied inside this spoiler.
Message from Anna: we’re fine
The .org domain apparently has been suspended. Our other domains work fine, and we’ve added some more. We recommend checking our Wikipedia page for the latest domains.
This unfortunately happens to shadow libraries on a regular basis. We don’t believe this has to do with our Spotify backup.
To keep our operations running properly we’re always looking for donations. We’re doing a fundraiser this month where you get double downloads for the entire duration of your membership.
Thanks for your continued support.
Let a thousand annas-archives bloom
Somebody on Mastodon shared this website earlier today. It tracks the status of various online libraries: https://open-slum.org/
Was it Namecheap again?
No idea, TBH.
Edit: WHOIS says Tucows.

I’m not even sure what this is but I like it.

It’s a confused cat (unable to access the archive and not knowing why) becoming a nodding cat with a speech bubble directed towards your comment.
I like making emoji layouts, lol.
I was assuming something like that, but biblically accurate threw me off. I didn’t think about that the image is actually a cats head going up/down.

Oh yeah, we don’t actually have a regular cat emoji that I could find. I was that one of the one with a knife or the screaming one.
We need more emojies

I would reply to this with a DJ Khaled “Another One” emoji, but we don’t have one.
No we don’t.
The catgirl emojis expand the options a bit more
forgetting someone…?
I thought that was a giant spider
Someone does something legal that cuts into our profits!!! Quick do bullshit so it becomes too expensive for them
What is Anna’s Archive? What’s the context here?
Annas Archive (https://annas-archive.se/) is a search engine for shadow libraries and to some extent a shadow library itself. I usually check AA first when looking for books as it agregates from multiple places, such as z-lib, libgen and archive.org, but will then check them individually if I don’t find the book on AA.
