I have a feeling we'll see a resolution time measured in hours, but I have absolutely no information to back that, just a gut feeling.
How do you know its DDOS?

So how long exactly has it been like this?

I don't. I was just indicating it's one possibility (albeit an unlikely one, as they were working on the servers today then they went down, so...). Kinda funny, though, how a DDOS attack and a bunch of legitimate users overwhelming the servers are basically the same thing, and appear identical internally and externally.
