Yes , It's under a ddos attack as confirmed by theymos : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1665601.msg16736537#msg16736537 , everything seem stable at the moment though.

It has happened for nearly a week i think so. Because since last week, i found that it is very hard to access bitcointalk, too slow, can not loading page, etc. And yesterday, i can not open this forum anymore and it was very annoying. I hope that this attack will pass

I experienced it too. Yesterday i logged in and the 504 popped out that saying that the server is busy so its clearly an attack. But when i logged in just an hour, its fixed. I also experience hard to access the site, it takes a minute to enter the page. Right now its running smoothly.
