More hash is good but my earning per round is down to 0.17 from 0.25
Why is moar hash good?
Saying actually goes "If Your in a Hole, Stop Digging" but seemingly miners think "This will become a tunnel"
Once the Terahashers are out you could stuff your equipment into the dustbin.
Depends a lot on the equipment. My Bitfury gear should be good up to diff 50 billion. And most of us will still be running those little blinky USB Block Erupters, regardless of the difficulty, just because they're so cute...
Gold can still come out of a tunnel.
While they continue to return against the power cost, then they are always viable.
I still keep my GPU kit in the cupboard, If the btc exchange rate goes up then they may still hash again.
Some users are still hashing with GPU, (like the cute little erupters), because they just want to.

Use Varnish, an HTTP accelerator. I use it on my Drupal sites. Haters can try DDoS all day and it doesn't matter. The webpages are cached and served from RAM, not disk. I forget the insane pages per second it can serve, but it's top notch. For example, Lullabot, a Drupal shop that runs the Grammy.com website for the night of the Grammys, use Varnish on it. It can handle insane traffic.
Thanks for the comments. Solutions so far describe how the pool survives without going down. The solutions offered describe that if the speed of the servers is higher than any load generated from the internet the server will stay in operation. So one target of the DDoS is not achieved, Server remains operable. Nice for the pool.
My problem with the DDoS is that they seemingly generate enough traffic so that my hashes do not get to the pool server properly. This target of the DDoS, or better Traffic Jamming, i. e. no communication with the server - is partially reached. Bad for me.
So I was looking for a solution of getting rid of the traffic jammers without having to go to a private pool. It is possible for the infrastructure providers to significantly throttle and black-list traffic offenders.

Once terahash goodies are out I will be rocking terahash too.

The pool is 7-8% from the network, which is on average 0.45 blocks per hour or 2h 20min per block ... the rest is luck (good or bad)
Well, here comes the luck again. I left the pool at 105% and during the DDoS attacks I mined myself
. I returned at 18:50 today. 
May the luck serve us through a bright future.
Overall, will there be a stable value in not too far future (2015) say at 10 times the diff, so Slush can use an optimistic forecast?
And is there anything like we can do against DDoS, like paying them back with defcoins? Is there anywhere any info about who or what performed the attacks?
If they haven't already, take a look at HAProxy to fight against those nasty DDoS attacks. http://haproxy.1wt.eu/ It's a small VM footprint, very expandable and can handle a lot of traffic.
Tin Foil Hat Moment: I wonder if these attacks are contracted out. X pool buys attacks against some of the larger pools so they can solve more blocks while they are down. Some major hashing hardware is currently shipping now.

I guess it's the KNC miners coming online. Most of them will leave as soon as they notice that the current round is 5+ hours (so far).
Shhhhhhhhhhhh...!

Well that's one way of looking at it - that Slush is forcing the increase with the updates 
I thing that he is waiting for some stable value to list, but with the constant increase in power it immediately becomes 'the minimum' instead of average, so maybe he should change it to 100+TH
EDIT: WOW THAT WAS FAST!
He changed it while i was typing, but my suggestion for 120+ is still valid (we are at 123Th now )

Did someone else noticed that every time the thread title is updated to reflect the total speed, it jumps up quite a lot, just a bit after that.
It was updated to 100TH and in few hours went to 120TH after a stable week of 90-100
