I don't know if any of you are on Meetup.com but someone had it out for them - they were up and down for about a week trying to fight off the attackers. I wonder if it's random chaos or if someone or group has it out for them?

Attacked how? I am a member of several meetups, and haven't heard about any attack nor have I had any disruptions with the site.

Well those people are going to prison. Ddos is one of the easiest things to trace, what idiots.

The attack has been sporadically world wide. The has been up and down at different times for the past week or so, they're working on the issues. Today I've had no problems accessing the site, but last week forget it and yesterday it was very hit or miss.
