So apparently someone DDoSed bitcointalk, any idea or speculation about where the attack came from?

I saw some rumors from reddit and most of those tend to center around the fact that Roger Ver saw this as a chance to promote his own forum while bitcointalk was inaccessible. Proof: https://archive.is/5nGUv

Could this be a coincidence? Do you think that Roger paid to DDoS bitcointalk in order to drive traffic to his new venture?

theymos said that there was a problem with the server (already fixed). so it might be unrelated to DDoS.
I could be wrong though.

I don't know, but I got a 502 bad gateway error for a few hours.
It is pretty annoying that this happens..

Conspiracy theories, just what bitcointalk needs. It was just a server issue that is fixed
There was a problem on the server causing this. I fixed it.
If you have "theories" at least back them with some sensible proof and not pure speculation
