Octopus Overlords

Is it just me or is it taking a really long time to load pages right now?

Oh, slow. So slow.

Oh, slow. So slow.

Like molasses going uphill in January… with crutches.

Not loading while logged in on Firefox. Slow, but functional on IE (not logged in), pretty normal on tapatalk

tapatalkin'

Much better now. Thanks!

Yep, much better. Still a little slow to post, but otherwise good.

Thanks for reporting. I was noticing it as well. So much so that at lunch i gave up and just went back to work.

We can't have that...

My day job is keeping me busy. I'm guessing it was a network problem, seems ok to me now?

Noticed another short burst of poor performance about ten minutes ago.

Yeah it's much slower than normal right now. Has been for the past half hourish?

It's coming and going again this morning

It doesn't appear to be a DNS problem as surfing and tracerting by IP yield the same slow downs.

Sorry about the whole quote, on my ipad. The only reason you would not see anything beyond hop 1 is on your end. Firewall blocking a portion of the icmp suite.

Tomorrow ill open a ticket with the hosting provider.

I've been running into the same problem off and on all week, and the problem started again this evening.

Likewise.

VERY slow. takes multiple clicks a lot. Sometimes it locks up and requires a refresh to get it going.

I didn't have a problem yesterday or today.

Just.....awful......tonight. It's taken me dozens of clicks and at least 15 min to get this to post. well to type it. im not sure if it will post when i click submit or if it will sit here and Ill have to try again or get a double post or something. Unusable really to me right now. Thats what i get for bragging I had no problems last time hahah.

Me too, opening a ticket. It looks like it may be a DDOS against our provider. Even their page sucked.

Its better now. Either they gave up or you scared them off Thanks!

It's been off and on for a few days. This afternoon was quite sluggish. But my internet connection was being all emo today, too. Everything's swell now.

What's that joke? Timely for most of us here at this point in the year...

"I want an emo lawn so it will cut itself..."

Bad again.

Will do next time it's slow. Its good again now.

Board is intermittently slow again. I took out the hops that show my company - they were minimal anyway.

One moment tonight it's slow to dead and takes refreshes to work. next second it's spot on instant. Shrug.

Really bad tonight. It's taken me 30+ minutes to get to this post. It's not loafing well. It loaded only the hyperlinks on a white background for a while and I was logged out too. Then it loaded the default page and I was still logged out. Then I restarted it and got logged in and am posting this.

Daehawk wrote:Really bad tonight. It's taken me 30+ minutes to get to this post. It's not loafing well.

Actually I think that's the only thing it was doing well.

It was brutal for me last night as well. It seems fine now though.

Pretty ok again for me too. One of my posts early though posted 5 times.
