I hope people start making dupe sites for all the block explorers out there just in case. bitcointalk going down was bad enough.
That site alone brings us quite a bit of traffic.

even if this was some kind of attack, it's pointless now, they're years late. Which makes me think it's just someone doing it for fun, to blame someone (tin foil hat) or just to bring BTC some more attention.

Craziness:
https://en.bitcoin.it
https://bitcointalk.org
Even https://bitcoin.com redirects to blockchain.info now (this was a Roger Ver issue tho I think)
 
I'm thinking something nefarious may be at work here, or?
