Last night I could not load deltava.org. It said there was some sort of maintenance going on so the site was down. Was this just me, or did it happen to other people too?

No, Shane, the internet doesn't shut down. Do a Google search and a little reading and you'll have your answer. To type it all out here and explain it is too time consuming.
