why is the forum getting DDos'd now? Maxcoin?

also, blocks are popping off all over the place this week, dunno if its 7.02 is more efficient or something, but I'm hitting a block every 8 hours or so with 330k coins. Payments are up too, over half are empty still but 110 paid in fees this week!

even though blockchain doesn't show all the blocks forged, it is showing the proper amount.. is it still on 5.11?
