I am really suspicious that someone is “Shutting” it down with some kind of attack.

I agree. FR magically went down when the debate started and just as magically came up when it was over. There had to be almost as many FReepers online just before and just after, so it shouldn't be strictly traffic related.

Um, traffic isn’t just the people posting. It’s everyone attempting to access over and over again.
