I don't have the exact parameters, but I think it was something like ab -c 100 -n 10000 http://readwarp.com/<somethinghere> I don't remember what <somethinghere> was, it was one of the JS fetch links I think. I was trying to flood your site with a bunch of traffic and I did think it might slow down for a bit, but I wasn't expecting to knock it offline. I, too, am glad that everyone else was able to see how your site was supposed to look before I took it down.

Yeah, -c 100 is nothing I haven't tried before. My server knows to disable abuse detection for localhost, but it should have throttled your requests fairly quickly. I have a nanny to restart the server if it dies, but on this occasion it just got wedged. That happens sometimes because PLT scheme uses atomic operations to enforce consistency. Like I said, thanks for uncovering this.
