Boards down for 5/10 minutes?

Was Boards just down for 5/10 minutes? I couldn't access the site, and a ping to the server failed.

Hopefully not a DoS attack (or hopefully it wasn't something on my side, although with a ping fail I'm sure it wasn't).

It wasn't just boards for me. It was a few sites that were down both ie and UK. US sites were ok. I then when to speedtest.net and the Dublin server was gone.

My Boards was out too... No other sites failed me either.. I had nowhere to go to find out if I was alone either. I guess Twitter would be my option there.

Down for me too. Thought those pesky Russians had got a hold of the site again.
