Google it more...it's not a lot of buys and sells...it is attacks on the website itself.

I'm still new to all of this but in that chatbox, or what ppl call the troll box, I see from time to time people reference DDOS attacks.  What exactly is this?  From what I found from Googling, a DOS attack on a website is where it floods the website with traffic so it crashes (i could be wrong on this).  I saw a ton of buys & sells on BTC-E for tiny amounts 0.01-0.07, is this what they are talking about?

Piggy-backing off that question, what is the benefit for someone to do this?  What is the negative effect it has for people trying to legit trade on there?
