"Temporarily disabled while being DDoS'd." What does this mean?

A pissed-off botnet owner is making an attack on the site because he was blocked off. See what DoS is on Wiki.
It's all in the BTC Guild thread here.

You'd have to wonder who is spending 5-10k bots on griefing miners for a few minutes.

You could be actually earning money with your zombies instead of being childish.

Na, the zombied computers are usually pretty worthless and I know of no rootkits that can access the video card to do mining at this time.

Although, I'm sure that's coming.  Mining with the CPU on a zombied machine is a sure fire way to get the machine reloaded if the CPU is pegged 24/7.

The power of these bots lie in their bandwidth or packets per second capability, not so much in their GPU power.  It would be a plus if they somehow infected computers with healthy GPU power and just ran mining on it instead.
