Title: Why does bitcointalk.org keep going offline!?

Why does bitcointalk.org keep going offline!?
Over the weekend I could only access it a few minutes at a time.
I tried on all browsers - Explorer, Firefox, Chrome...

Is anyone else experiencing this?
Are the servers going doing, being hacked?
How can I stop this happening it makes the site unusable?

There's already a thread in the meta forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1665601.0) about the downtime.  Nothing that any of us can do to stop it happening by the sounds of it.

Yes, looks now it is already solved, but the last days were terrible to access the forum. But it didn't happen because the thousand of visitors we have here, but because the DDoS attacks. They send fake traffic to overload connection. It's like a sabotage. Some another Bitcoin related sites were having the same issues also.
