What is up with bitcointalk lately?  Is it being DDoS'd or is it simply having scaling/backend server issues?
The Bitcoin network protocol was designed to be extremely flexible. It can be used to create timed transactions, escrow transactions, multi-signature transactions, etc. The current features of the client only hint at what will be possible in the future.

Bullish  Cool

I'd like to thank eduffield and the other developers for this critically important evolution in virtual currency. DarkCoin is what bitcoin should have been. Some might call it "Bitcoin 2.0" but would do better by saying: "DarkCoin is digital cash."  -  Child Harold - February 28, 2014

It's hardly prime time, I'd be surprised if it was load issues, maybe an update?

What's funny is that by looking at Alexa for bitcointalk.org I do twice the visits with no downtime at all. Naturally, without considering bots (I have loads of bots visiting my website, orders of magnitude more than human traffic).

My point is that this load is nothing impossible to handle and that the admin either wants the website not to load (like for simulating hoards of new users, even when if you look at Alexa you see only a 18% up in the last  3 months) or is too close to accept help from other people like me. I think I could help, for free...

My anger against what is wrong in the Bitcoin community is productive:
Bitcointa.lk - Replace "Bitcointalk.org" with "Bitcointa.lk" in this url to see how this page looks like on a proper forum (Announcement Thread)
Hashfast.org - Wiki for screwed customers
simulacrum

People on Reddit were blaming Reddit for driving heavy traffic here, but I couldn't find any one highly voted thread that would explain it.
