Is the forum being attacked, or am I the only one it's being unusually slow for?

Had to try three times to post this, getting a database error one of those times.

Those two script kiddies are probably just mad that we have become much faster at banning their phishing accounts. Somehow, they think that spending even more money by ordering a DDoS on us would help.

Of course, all of this is speculation, since I don't have access to the server logs.

Seems to be over, now. Was fairly slow, but was never down-down.

Fwiw, though, there were over 4.5k regged users on when the problems were happening, probably peaked not too far from the record-number on in April. Closer to 3k, now. I thought it was just an extremely heavy "normal" load on the Pirate news.

ETA: Maybe it's not over? I'm used to 200-1000ms latency wherever I go, so I don't notice it much. :D
