My understanding is we were having back to back DDoS attacks that took the site down almost daily, particularly when some piece of "evidence" was published the deep state didn't want public, and this was the "answer".  Apparently the owners/mods can see which articles are attracting the attacks.  Not sure how that could help with DDoS attacks, because they can still "attack" the main site.  But I have noticed there haven't been as many take-downs lately.
