Not Southperry, the DNS. Sleepywood uses the same one too.
Someone else can explain this better than I can, but I'm posting for the sake of it anyway.
Edit:
[20:39:52] <BDRyan> [...] DNS nameserver was attacked, took a *lot* of sites down without actually attacking the sites at all.
[20:40:39] <BDRyan> 'cause you need DNS to tell your computer where to find the site...and if DNS is attacked...you lose the thing that tells your computer where the site's at, so as a result your computer can't find it
[20:41:24] <BDRyan> Basically, the site's perfectly fine. It's just the mechanism that tells you how to connect to it, isn't
