    Thanks! It's great to hang out here with good, interesting people. Just frustrating when the pages won't load.

    It is better today than yesterday, but there could be some malfeasance involved.

    A little slow a few times this morning, but not nearly as bad as a few days ago.

    Off and on here. Seems the "likes" slow it down a lot.

    To me this suggests it's indeed not some issue with the server design, but external (bot etc.) action causing this, as the latter is likely more variable in time than the former.

    Dang AI :p

    Highly hit and miss here for me as well. First time I’ve been able to get on since this am. I’m honestly probably just going to take a vacation for a while.

    The site is pretty much unusable this morning.

    I was able to catch a screenshot of user stats, should it be helpful.

    This is crazy. I've been trying off and on since 3:00am. The wait time is really ridiculous. I'm going to stop again and come back later to try again because the wait time the last 2 times were several minutes and then an error message the page can't load.

    I sure wish someone cared about this forum enough to fix it. I kinda liked it here.

    I'm sure there are efforts underway that the volunteers are dealing with.
