Simple... the last time the DDoSed Voat, or maybe that one time Put fucked off and let the log files fill the disk and it was down for a week, they read all the posts and comments when it came back up. Nearly every post made some mention of "Thank god for the preview sight!"
All this means is that whoever is running the DDoS this time did a little homework into how the site responds to DDoS attacks and service interruptions. Or in other words, they are not fucking retards. Did you really think you knew about the preview site but somehow the 'deep state' did not? Never underestimate your enemy. Go read some Sun Tzu.
