Well, 'permanently' is a relative notion. At the time when the crash happened the developer was too busy with more important things, for the foreseeable future. But perhaps that has changed now.

The Jocly interface itself is public, but the server software of the jocly.com website was private. So it was easy for many other websites to embed the Jocly interface, but that did not make them a site for on-line play. I also set up Jocly on my own website, and even implemented some new games for it. (Mostly variants with drops, like Shogi, or other variants that posed some challenge that was not supported by the standard code for chess variants, such as multiple royalty for Spartan Chess, multiple Capture for the Chu Shogi Lion, etc.) I even connected Jocly to my own turn-based server, so people could use it to play on-line, and some people actually did.
