Seeing that it took me 6 tries to post a story earlier, I thought I'd better roll up my sleeves and try to get to the bottom of the problem!
Everybody knows how much I love Steemit and want to see it back running normally for us all. I've worked tirelessly, applying all of my vast technological expertise (which extends to checking my email successfully most of the time) and enormous resources and I've come up with three possibilities to explain the malfeasances, as well as the DDos attacks... I believe it to be the same people behind both...
RUSSIAN HACKERS

We all know the effect that Russian hackers had on the last American election. Turning their backs on a sweetheart deal for 20% of our uranium, they hacked into the election balloting mechanisms so brilliantly that they were able to hack the states that use paper ballots as well.
BIGFOOT

We are all aware of Bigfoot's desire to perserve his anonymity- I think someone involved with Steemit may have gotten too close and provoked him (her?) into these viscious attacks.
AL GORE/ GLOBAL WARMING
It could happen! We all know that Al Gore invented the internet, so who better to be behind these attempts to disrupt Steemit and keep intrepid Steemians from posting. This theory will be put to the test during the next election... If Al Gore promises to fix the problems if elected, then we'll know we have our man!
