It seems they've been having a little bit of testing, on Waffles. Staff said this in the IRC channel:

<Staff> I've put up the tracker only, and temporarily

<Staff> checking load and whatnot

<Staff> data will be trashed and re-built with backup upon all-ok, but in meanwhile, please report if your clients are reporting errors

Why did they decide to temporarily shut down in the first place?

Read this piece of news: Waffles.ch News

Since quite long waffles landing page show 'We are moving....' by now they should be reaching moon

Well few points I don't understand related to waffles -
1. What happened to site code at once, which was working perfectly before they went offline.
2. I as far as I remember waffles is using same site code from beginning, so which issue taking SysOp so long to rectify.
3. Why they not making any announcement or ETA

I only hope, all this is not just a money grabbing scam. Because many people have sent them a great deal of money already.

I'm miss Waffles. I hope they work it out soon and get back up and running.

That's great news to hear, I can confirm tracker is up actually, all torrents are green.
