I'd say they had DOS issues with their nameservers. They can't be expected to let their other domains go down in efforts to protect a single domain. I'm guessing they weathered the problem somewhat, as they actually gave 24h notice. However, excessive loads and constant monitoring and protective measures on a free service would definitely be something a company would want to stop.
