still doesn't work long time! what happened ?

They seem to be having major security breeches. Hopefully within w few days all will be well and running smoothly again. It shouldn't be long now.
As far as I know Rollin.io hasn't had any sort of security breach. They've been hit with huge DDOS attacks the past few days though, and are trying to mitigate it.

Many sites are under DDOS attacks from time to time, little and big one`s. First I didn't know what that means, but after informing myself on internet I saw some interesting facts.
- $150 can buy a week-long DDoS attack on the black market. TrendMicro Research. Specialized online marketplaces exist to buy and sell botnets or individual DDoS attacks. Using these underground markets, anyone can pay a nominal fee to silence websites they disagree with or disrupt an organization’s online operations. A week-long DDoS attack, capable of taking a small organization offline can cost as little as $150.
-More than 2000 daily DDoS Attacks are observed world-wide by Arbor Networks. ATLAS Threat Report, Botnets can generate huge floods of traffic to overwhelm a target. These floods can be generated in multiple ways, such as sending more connection requests than a server can handle

So basically someone just need to give 150 $ ( more or less ) to shut down some site for a week. That is just crazy in my opinion. Probably one of bad sides of black market.
