What happened with MAL Site? (MyAnimeList.net)

Topic, why are the recommendations etc broken?
Did the DB crash?

I've tried to search but can't find anything specific about what happened with the site...
The site has something in the news ticketbox on the site but cant read because of broken site/links.

Thanks in advance!

They initially took down the site to update it to my knowledge, however they later exposed a security flaw with their API and have taken it down ever since to resolve the issue. They've slowly been re-implementing features, but its uncertain when everything will be operational.

I was hoping it wasn't offline for good, glad to see it's an update they are resolving.

Let's hope they'll fix it fast.

In the meantime, you could use anidb. Their recommendations are not on par with MAL, but are still pretty good.

Indeed. There are a few other sites as well such as Anime-Planet that you can easily export your list to and have most of the entries uploaded.

EDIT:

As of Today seems profiles are back so this is good!

I'm not sure, but here is a great alternative I use for keeping track of my anime and I really like the layout simkl(.)com
my animelist is outdated imo.

if you think mal is outdated, something is wrong with your brain

Well, suck me off then I guess there is.
They freaked me out when I tried to update my watching list and found website was down for couple days...
I don't know what's taking them this long to fix all the stuff if it was just a security issue they found (unless it's a very complicated one).
Other websites should try scraping MAL data and do some machine learning to improve their recommendation system..
Have a cool signature? hit me up and I might use it.
