What happened? I couldn't access DU for several days.

I couldn't contact DU at all; but my searches made it clear that others also couldn't access.

Was there a denial-of-service attack? Something else?

I've looked through the posts and saw nothing on this.

1. No, and the admins already addressed this in another post.

3. We all decided to play a joke on you

We moved the site every time you tried to get on.

Seriously, there is an explanation somewhere. I had problems too.

11. OK. Thank you. And here I was blaming some RW attack.

Of course the questioning of the phone number that started the whole problem might well have come from some RWer upset because s/he couldn't make hate calls to Skinner.

14. freeperville actually missed DU.

I looked at their site, and many were actually worried that DU wasn't available, and worried that our rights to free speech were being attacked. They're like drug addicts, that hate their addiction to DU but need it anyways.

7. Go to the Home page and look for Skinner's explanation.

On the right-hand side, in the Journals column.

Don't you just love it when you ask a serious question and get a bunch of sophomoric relies.

I guess us Tejanos have to count on one another, don'tcha know.

Werewolves of Florida maybe. ;-)

9. Grovelbot got wasted and started messing around with the I.P. addresses

If he wasn't so good at fundraising he'd be working at McDonalds now.
