The plot thickens. The Pirate Bay site is back online with a similar interface to before –albeit with a "phoenix" logo now, instead of a pirate ship.
However the search field is inactive, as are most of the links within the site [they have a CSS class of "notlink" in the source code]. Also, there are [inactive] links for "Register" and "Login". Where those always there, or does this suggest TPB's comeback may involve some kind of "registered account only" access?
