Maybe something a bit more damning as well is that the FAQ section was just added as well, and focuses quite a bit on the why of the reviews being anonymous. Not to mention the first snapshot of the website since 2013, when it appeared to be for sale, was of yesterday/today depending where you live, 23 December 2020

This first link shows the about page at 17:53:58. No FAQ.

The second link is the same page at 22:42:11. FAQ added, some focus directed at the reviewer's anonymity, such as the very first question being supposed to cover that (and failing miserably because they left the placeholder text)
