Yes they're back. Here's an email I got from them:
My name is Scott Wainner and I am the founder of ResellerRatings.com as well as TechIMO.com. I have announced today that I have purchased ResellerRatings.com from its previous owner, internet.com!
ResellerRatings.com has long been known as the top resource on the Internet to get customer opinions of online computer hardware retailers and to give a voice to online buyers. The site was recently named Best Retailer Ratings site in the November 2001 issue of Yahoo!T Internet Life magazine, above Gomez.comT and Bizrate.comT.
The site has been COMPLETELY redesigned. It is now database driven and has many, many more features than the old site - plus, we think the design looks really cool.

Attention Resellers
-------------------
If you're a reseller, you'll love our new features. You'll want to send us an email at
resellers@resellerratings.com so we can give you access to edit your company's details page which will let you 1.) Update your company's contact information and basic ordering/shipping info, and 2.) Post rebuttal comments in reply to customer reviews.
Price Search Coming Soon!
-------------------------
One of the most exciting things that we're working on right now is to incorporate our own in-house product price search engine directly into the site, which will enable you to find the best deals on products, and get ratings and reviews of retailers, all at the same time. Resellers: please contact us if you're interested in having your product inventory searchable on the site!
Thanks for all of your support over the years, it's good to be back!

P.S.- If you sent email to my old
sdw@resellerratings.com address from September 27, 2001 to March 10, 2002, I did not receive it. My position with internet.com was cut in September, and I did not have any access to that email account, despite the fact that the address was still being used on resellerratings.com. I have now been able to obtain those back-emails, however, and we're in the process of reviewing and replying to them.
