I posted separately in this thread that I honestly don't think much attention should be paid to that specific URL that was targeted. By all means check it out, but whoever wants to DDOS a website doesnt send the people they pay for the attack a specific article link to send to their bots. They will just say they want VOAT down because they are trying to OBSCURE something. If they do actually get to send a URL it will be specifically one that would divert attention AWAY from what they wanted to obscure. I'm afraid to say they were probably highly successful at actually doing what they set out to do - censor the exposure to some particular post that must have actually been quite threatening, for whatever reason. A lot of people didn't know about Poal, it was so weird not having VOAT up. Gotta just trust the plan and be thankful that there is one!
