Shaun,

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I don’t consider you a turd :)

not that anyone cares what this turd has to say, but he's confirmed it was a (apparently significant) cyberattack/ddos:

Also of note if you visit without ever having been there before or with a private window, you get the full-on Cloudflare "the host we're trying to get you to is not responding" notice:

Don't think I've seen that before with a major site like this?

It seems very much so...

Does anyone know if they were already on Cloudflare before today?

I see lots of rumors about it being a DDoS, which would sort of make sense given the owner's previous comments about the company having too much infrastructure. :)

Also not sure if it means anything, but the Cloudflare IP they resolve to here (Tampa area) has changed a number of times (totally different netblock).

I understand that there was an outage earlier, but is this site/app
still suffering from an outage ?
