take offline
Remove from service
To take offline is to disconnect from a network or remove from active service.
A server taken offline is no longer accessible.
The phrase extends to conversations: Let's take this offline means discussing something privately rather than in a group meeting or public channel.
To take someone offline can also mean to incapacitate or kill them, especially in military or action-movie contexts.
