Is what lj status said when I checked a few min ago as well.

"LiveJournal Status
We can now publicly disclose that we have been experiencing a large-scale DDoS attack the last two days, which has been the reason for the site issues most users have been experiencing. The traffic load has been immense, at many times our normal load level, and the attack is still on-going. We are in constant contact with our providers to mitigate the attack as best as possible. We again apologize for the disruption to LiveJournal usage, and are working to get everything back to normal as soon as we can. Thank you!
oceanplexian said Sunday night we experienced a surge of increased junk traffic. which I took to mean DDoS was at least partly to blame, though it sounds from the way this post is written as though the way LJ is written/hosted is sharing some of the blame too.
Just wanted to say thank your for letting us know what's going on... it all makes sense and now i can be more patient... *lol* Good luck on getting everything in order again...
