I wonder if it's something related to it being 3 days before Jan 20th. Anyone have any ideas?

Not sure on the timing. I do see that the Cloudflare error I get is saying the host is down, and clouflare is ok. The site had been showing intermittent SSL handshake errors for about a week up to this point.

Best '4chan' theory atm - Someone posted a credible threat with a manifesto.

Worst theory, it was to set up a honey pot.

Best doesn't quite fit theory Cloudflare is going to act.

Kiwifarms was linked somehow, maybe it was just the 4chan refugees overloading it, maybe.

(The person who posted it was going to go down is claimed to have been watching the outage 'cascade' around the world)
