I was blaming my 3G connection on my tablet while bitcointalk refused to load  Cheesy


I wounder why someone would want to DOS them?  Undecided

Some idiot probably thinks taking down this server takes down all of bitcoin.  Roll Eyes

The guys that run bitcointalk wouldn't make it that easy for hackers to steal Bitcoins.

LOL probably, but there's all sorts of emails and information here that they can get their hands on plus some people will clearly want to just take it down for giggles.
