QuoteThe site is still down due to an ongoing DDoS attack.

Remember kids: DDoS is cruise control for cool.

UPDATE: Well, we're still down. Unfortunately, there is very little (read: nothing) that can be done about a 3-5Gbit DDoS attack.


This is what moot informs me of as to why the site has been down, but what is DDoS?

basically, it's just using all of a site's resources so that the intended users of those resources can't use them.
