2. Not a DOS attack.
It appears to have been a run-of-the-mill server glitch. I think it may have been triggered by a sudden spike in traffic due to this Foley thing.

We're getting a new server next week, just in time for the elections. Hopefully that will help us deal with this sort of thing.

I apologize for the inconvenience.
