Would be lovely if they didn't hotlink placehold.it for their images as that site requires captcha approval before showing their images so mine is just a bunch of broken image links.



They went behind CloudFlare because of DDoS attacks. That is why you are seeing captchas. https://twitter.com/placeholdit/status/256201151266045952


I really don't understand most people. Why would you ever DDoS a CSS library's website?


Accidental DDoS? For fun (a la 4chan etc.) etc. But yeah I understand what you mean.


If it's accidental, is it really a DDoS? Or a poorly deployed/coded app? :)
