I found this notice on the PBWiki's wiki (http://yummy.pbwiki.com/ ):

"Admin Message: Friday 4:45 pm PST: Access to PBwiki was difficult earlier
today due to a denial-of-service attack on a 3rd-party network service
provider. We've put in a workaround so things should be back to normal as
fresh DNS records propagate throughout the net."

(I see now that they have posted that note on all PBWikis.)
