Opskins strangely slowing down

Today the site refreshing speed was okay until 17:20 when suddenly lot of really good offers were

showing up through 1 and a half hours. It was really strange that suddenly the refreshing speed

slowed down extremely. I think it was a Ddos attack again and the strange thing is that the past 2

weeks these attacks mostly coming when these really good offers are coming. I observed the Recent

Sales option and that was the result of this 1.5 hours:

6 items were sold at 3 seconds

16 items were sold at 4 seconds

21 items were sold at 5 seconds

24 items were sold at 6 seconds

68 items were sold at 7 seconds

103 items were sold at 8 seconds

103 items were sold at 9 seconds

In my opinion (this is my empirical examination) under 6 seconds items are purchased mainly by

programmers. Is it possible that is there a relationship between the botters and these Ddos attacks? I

only ask it because these strange slowdowns are coming when good deals are showing up. After

these good offers stopped the site was very fast again (almost promptly)… This is really strange for me…
