The .onion site is still up, which is the only site that has ever mattered. Stop putting stock into what happens with the clearnet version as whirlwind stated from day 1 that they don't really care about it and only implemented it because people wanted it to exist.
I used Tor to access the .onion and it is working. I have noticed that the clearnet has not be working since long time ago. We all know that. You are correct.
