I had just posted a link to an issue in github and when I tried to click it to see if it worked, I was wondering if I did anything wrong. Github has so much activity that many people could be thinking the same right now. I also guess hundreds of persons are wondering if the commit they just pushed killed github's servers.

I did the same. I spent a solid minute trying different things and googling to figure out what was wrong. Checked the status page and bam! It's still down. :(

      When used as an attack, the efficient method is to buy servers or to have a botnet to do it for you.
