As of this afternoon, Bitcoin Central went down. It seems that it's been down consistently for the past 3 hours, judging by the statistics on bitcoincharts.com.

I was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about this. Are there any accouncements? Anything on IRC, perhaps?

I'm glad I had just purchased BTC though - wouldn't want to slump straight into another downtime period with EUR in my hand seeing the price rise with every passing hour

EDIT: BTC Central is being DDoS'd, apparently. They tweeted about it.
