ESWN is acting up

For whatever reason, ESWN is acting up like crazy, OKAY, that's a stretch, but Yahoo! is taking it out of service because of bandwidth overusage issue. The site is up now and Mr Admin says or kind of alludes to some denial of service attacks. When you are this popular, and may I add a bit controversial, chances are the DoS attacks may very likely be real....
Update, the site is down again.
That really makes you wonder. I am no big fan of conspiracy theory, but then again, you never know.
If the site were hosted locally, and with certain Admin wizardry, perhaps DoS can be avoided, but look like Yahoo! doesn't really have counter measure, well I don't know better. Hosting own site in the basement or anywhere else may be fun to some people but certainly not for most.
Update:
There is still no ESWN .... So I guess he has to move on to some other hosting company perhaps.
Breaking Update 4/20/06:
ESWN is rocking again. so far so good ....wait, OKAY, it still good. Let's see how his host is holding up if or when there is a DoS. Meanwhile hope Mr ESWN has a good night of sleep and sweet dreamssssssssssssssss <- I am freaking juvenile here.
