It's been down since this morning (UTC-5 here). Some moderator in IRC said the web server that powers /b/ and /r9k/ "must've shat itself, and as soon as someone who has ssh access to the box wakes up it should be up again." and that was said at 11:40 AM.

I think it's anontalk again. It's only 4chan's img server that's being targeted - plus anontalk is down as well. There's some sort of epic DDoS battle going on again.
Wow AnonTalk is down right now too. Though, they were up until around 5 PM today, which was about 11 hours after img.4chan.org went down. Though I think nginx shat all over itself and now team 4chan's probably gotta go call their datacenter to tell them to reboot the server. I don't think it's a DdoS attack this time, because I did not see any threads announcing an attack upon AnonTalk on /b/.

Who cares if the imageboards are down, dis.4chan.org really needs to get its own server so it doesn't go down when the rest of 4chan goes down!
