Afterdowningstreet.org gets slammed!

I thought I'd check the site for updates and got this:
<snip>
"You're Seeing an Alternate Version of Our Site!
Due to an excessive amount of traffic, we have switched to this abbreviated site temporarily. For now, you can read our major news stories and click on some useful links. Please check back in an hour or so to visit the full web site"

1. I hope this is a good sign

And not just a denial of service attack.

4. I'm hoping its all curious Americans and media!

2. What does this mean?

What's happening with this website exactly....I need to keep updated.

5. Traffic to the site was more than the server could handle

It's a good/good toss up.

Either so many people wanting to know more went to the site (after seeing the C-SPAN broadcast) that the site stumbled

OR

A lot of malAdministration apologists are scared outta their shorts that more and more people are waking up and getting information about all the lies. Sometimes opposition will launch a deliberate attack on sites they don't want people to be able to access. It is an attempt to limit the Internet bred media alternative. Sort of a twist on the old tune of keeping the women-folk barefoot, pregnant, and on the edge of town, modified for a new age.

3. the freeps are running scared. the truth will out no matter how they

try to shut it down LOL. It's a good sign the site got such a jump in traffic after the CSpan airing. Guess they just didn't have the server capacity to handle the influx of people looking for more info

this is all good folks :bounce:
