Just to clear something up, the reason we can't comment on the state of the server before Erb or Goog show up is simply because we don't know o.o. I found out that the server was up again from people posting here :P. Though from my last discussion with Erb it was my understanding that the attack had stopped and that he was waiting on the German Host to get the server back online.
Buut, as I said, can't really comment on things with no information ;3.
