It appears to have been hugged to death; archive.org link:

Can someone explain how this happens?

80 upvotes now on HN. Possibly 400-500 views. How do they go down so fast?

And archive bot manages to get past it.

I don't know how much it traffic it takes to take smaller websites down. Is it this small?

They might have hit their traffic quota, or the sudden spike in traffic tripped some limits.

Hah, the front page of HN will generally drive upwards of 10k uniques to a page.

Oh wow. Didn't realise it's that big a source for spikes in traffic.
