Best summary of the situation is this post from the mods who held an impromptu Q&A type thing as the discussion progressed:

Didnt seem to be a DDOS, didnt seem to be an attack, but was overload due to yuge traffic at around the time the 3rd presidential debate started, and lasting for a couple hrs after it finished. Sometimes there were cloudflare host down errors, sometimes host not responding errors, once when refreshing I saw a message indicating that the site was down for updates.
So it appears caused by a heavy spike in user demand. That's not a bad thing at all, and from the thread above it sounds like the team have a plan to address similar issues in future. Which undoubtedly will happen very soon - ACB confirmation, election and its fallout, a lot of big news milestones coming up fast.
