Or confused...
Why would they? Sites need to be really popular to have that sort of interest. I would not think this site had reached that level yet

Distributed Denial of Service.
A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is one in which a multitude of compromised systems attack a single target, thereby causing denial of service for users of the targeted system. The flood of incoming messages to the target system essentially forces it to shut down, thereby denying service to the system to legitimate users.
