I have a question: It seems that all the preview PNGs and the WSZ files themselves are fetched from hxxp://webampskins.org. When I go to that website directly, I get redirected to some shady looking website pushing crypto and gambling. Can you give me some background about this?

Interesting! I've only ever actively used subdomains of webampskins.org, however during early testing I set a hard coded IPV4 IP as the A name for the root domain. Now it looks like that IP has been handed off to someone else who is hosting a spammy site.

Thanks for flagging, I removed that A name record.

No problem, glad that got sorted out :)
