2/18/2013 outage

Just had another ~5 minute period of unresponsiveness, trying to connect to the site, as of about 6:15 p.m. Mountain Time (8:15 p.m. Eastern). Was beginning to think things were turning around...

Numerous outages this week both on laptop and mobile device. I'll keep some records now that I know you are ticketing. Sounds like it is time for an F5 Load Balancer to maintain availability.
 
Pages are still loading very slowly....
 
Page loads are extremely slow RIGHT NOW, and this definitely appears to be on your end, no problem with other websites. I have been experiencing this on and off for about a week, mostly on, many times the pages never load.
 
Really slow here too.

Not every time I try to load. I'll click one link and get warp speed, then click another and get... um... my car :p.
 
I'm using FireFox and can l click on a forum then click on a topic...crap timed out....close out and try again with fingers crossed and its been 50/50...........
 
yesterday i couldnt get anything to open after the initial page with all the forum links. Today, it is almost working....hit and miss but way slow. And in texas, not east coast
 
Hit and miss here as well, timed out trying to get into this thread. The hackers are working overtime.
 
Been absolutely terrible all day here in England - in terms of loading I mean (the weather is pretty bad too)! :D
 
I cannot even hardly use this forum any longer. The past few days it has been so slow, or not working at all. Others have noticed this too. It's a miracle I'm able to type this. Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon, because it's useless to even try to get on bladeforums. Click on a link, and hangs there forever before (if) the page changes. Please fix this issue. What an annoyance.

This is pretty much what I've got going on.
Clearing cookies helped a bit. It's still slow, but it doesn't hang until the page times out as much.

And in texas, not east coast

If you think about it, Texas really is on the Ease Coast. :p
 
Sorry to say but the forum is just about un-useable.
I get" Unable to load page" most of the time.
 
one thing that could run you into a firewall is opening 3-4 tabs of bladeforums quickly. If you make 10 connections to the site in 15 seconds, you will get firewalled resulting in an apparent short outage.
 
Don't know if this is actually related to other issues lately, but I've occasionally encountered this, when navigating the site (no particular or specific situation, that I can see). Timing of these errors falls into the same general time frame of the other difficulties, however. This latest db error occurred just minutes ago, about ~6:40 p.m. Mountain Time (8:40 p.m. Eastern):
