No, they have a maintenance page, usually that is what is shown when they have scheduled down time.

Due to a large DDOS attack the datacenter has null routed our IP addresses during the night. Servers themselves are fine.

Rerouting shouldn't take too long now. *fingers crossed*

Should not be long now until were back. Still investigating how the attacker was able to discover our real none-cloudflare IPs.

That's a real nightmare, seems that bitcoins are becoming a much bigger target lately.

Stupid thing is that hackers will destroy the whole set up and then how are they going to profit??

It's so annoying. I have a wallet with a few coins on there that I haven't yet backed up..

What that means? All of our BTC's are gone? Because I read in another post that some people lost his BTC by unknown transactions. This can be for this attack?

They are under a DDOS attack

This is from their twitter account

Is the goal to undermine the pillars that hold btc up? What would be the blackhat's goal here, theft... or something more sinister?

No cached version is available

It seems to me that CloudFlare is of no good use.  :-\

Anonymous!? HAH! Who is anonymous? Is it composed of random freelancers or just a name for secret services to hide behind? Either way, maybe its not in their best (financial) interests.
