I often like to look over origin8 components on their site. They usually have a product line of decent stuff, and not so decent stuff. But if I needed something in a pinch and didn't want to pay much, it was usually something Origin8 via Amazon or some other internet outlet.
However, it seems their website has been down over the last few weeks. And now, any visits to their site results in a wordpress error. Any news on them still existing as a company?

Origin8 is just a house brand of JBI which is J&B Importers based in Miami.
JBI owns Origin8, Sunlite, sells a ton of prebuilt wheelsets(velomine prebuilt come from JBI) and is the distributor for dozens of import brands.
JBI is like QBP.
The Origin8 Facebook page is actively updated. I'm guessing JBI just hasn't made it a priority to keep their brand's site active for some reason.
