I manage a few BF2 PR servers which are streaming to pbbans.com. Also myself haven't been able to reach the site since Thursday.
It is a shame pbbans has stopped, it was one of the better anti-cheat organisations out there. Every server I managed from AA2, COD4 and BF2, were always streaming to pbbans. There life system were a blessing against the ongoing attack of script kiddies.
Really, a sad day for the community.
-- Edit --
Reading their twitter they migth come online again. They have new host which they will hope will survive the DDoS attack. See: http://twitter.com/PBBans
Note:
For those who not know what a DDoS attack it, it stands for Distributed Denial of Service attack. Simply a hacker takes control of serveral computers or networks, then using his hacked networks and computers he sends a ton of requests to to the targetted network. The goal is that the target network or server becomes so overloaded with requests, it will eventually go down or be taken down.

Good News! :good2:
Over the last month PBBans has been hit with a number of DDoS attacks and we have been able to overcome them. On Aug 18, 2009 a massive DDoS attack hit our web server and could not be prevented with the counter-measures we previously employed. Our host will not do anything to block the attacks and even suggested that we turn our servers off.
After this occurred we decided to close our doors. There are many reasons behind this such as a higher cost for hosting, the lack of a new host that can provide the protection we require and finally the toll PBBans has played on our real lives.
After thinking about it overnight and the overwhelming messages from supporters who pleaded us not to close, we have decided to continue. We have found a new host that will provide the protection we require however it comes at a higher cost. Also the cost of shipping our servers is not a small one.
We need your help to keep us to keep PBBans online. Please donate using the button below.
We thank all our supporters for sticking with us and provided some much needed motivation needed to keep PBBans alive.
