someone probably has an issue w/ the blog/content of someone who is using posterous rather than posterous themselves.

That's my guess as well.

Weebly said (I think in their YC Founders at Work interview) that they get multiple DDoSes a day, aimed not at them but at sites they host. Now they have good enough systems in place to deal with it that they said they often just don't notice.

I guess when you host enough people's content, it's only a matter of time before someone wants to DoS something you're hosting.
