I've heard from Alex. There seems to have been a DDOS from bots at tens of thousands of different IP addresses. It seems to have subsided a bit on its own, and Alex is tweaking firewalls as needed.

If the stats at the bottom of the Forums page shows more than (say) 20,000 guests, then it's likely that another DDOS attack is underway.
