Broadcasting History website dead?

Noticed today (January 21, 2022) after looking for history on a radio station, it appears that the Canadian Communications Foundation website http://broadcasting-history.ca/ account has been suspended. I'm not sure how long it's been down for. Anyone know anything about this and if the website will be back up and running again?

If you try accessing any of the radio CCF / Broadcasting History webpages it will automatically redirect you to a suspended site. Example CBLA-FM:

They haven't added anything to it in ages. Hopefully, they will get it back up. It was/can be a go-to
reference site.

If you want to consult the site in the meantime there's the archived version  http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/">https://web.archive.org/web/20210117030535/http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/

I can't remember where I read it, but a while back the person running the website said that there were so many other sources people can use, that this website would stop being updated. But it did say it would remain as is, but obviously it no longer exists.
