Site May be Slow

In addition to some extra traffic at Realcent from the spot drop, Bluehost is getting hit with two DDoS attacks right now, so the site might be slow until they get the attacks under control.

Is this something that is potentially going to take bidders away from the auctions? I'm kinda hoping not...

The attack has been mitigated, site should be back to normal. Bluehost said there were 90,000 IPs involved in the attack. Picture 90,000 people sitting on Bluehost websites clicking the refresh button as fast as humanly possible all at once and you'll get a rough idea of what they were dealing with.
