It's a Hacking thing...Denial Of Service.

There are disruptors trying to take the website down and it looks like they are getting through. I hope they find the geeks

Must have something to do with a spam attack. I guess it has impaired the ability of their server.

A denial of service attack. You don't actually screw with the contents of the site, just keep people from accessing it.

Denial of service:

Website gets hit with many requests to view it. But, the return address is fake. So the website boggs down trying to locate the 'site' that requested to view it.
