what purpose of the site if you cant use it for registration? regarding your notice reddit has onion site too for example but after I cant login to my account after sign up too... facebook has onion site too but if you sign up through onion site they will restrict your account and ask for id.. So maybe its not something that important?

I'm saying the site not working is likely unintentional, and the result of some sort of technical error.
