So, is Bitcointalk having any issues for just me, or is it everyone?  Every time I try to post/refresh I usually get a cannot connect page and then it takes me forever to get back in. 

I have a pretty good ping to the website, and my DL speed isn't that great at the moment(5mb) but still shouldn't be this bad.

Everyone. I've been experiencing the same issue since a few hours ago. Probably a DoS happening right now.

maybe the admin is doing server maintenance, or update the server because a lot of posts and many who access bitcointalk .. I was trying to login and only now can access the forum

Yes, it happens for me as well. Many times I get "bad request" or "internal server error". I thought it could be because of increased traffic but that doesn't seem to be the case. Hopefully, will get resolved soon.

Same here. I am using mobile phone and it keeps on saying fatal error the server is overloaded. Maybe admin is making server maintenance this time. My only concern is if I can't reach the minimum posts on my campaign I may not get paid since there is also power outage here in my area due to typhoon but maintenance is needed for the good of the forum and also for us so it is okay. Hope it will be back soon. Let's just wait for it for a little while. It could also be a DDOS attack but I am not a security expert to discuss with it.

This appeared frequently on my browser;
Busy, try again (504)

The server seems to be overloaded right now. Please try again in a little while.

If you are getting this error while trying to post something, press the reload/refresh button in your browser and accept the browser warning. Keep doing this until you get a non-error page, at which point your post will be made. Leave at least a few seconds between each attempt.

It is normal for this error to occur every once in a while. There is generally no need to report it. However, if you get this error so often that it becomes especially disruptive, post to the Meta section of the forum about it.

bitcointalk is slow in my opinion as most bitcointalk access and exceeds bitcointalk server capacity, wait a few minutes later to get into bitcointalk, that's what I do if bitcointalk is slow.

Hackers wants to exploit this site. So they can sabotage and modify ICO details and gain from hacking individual accounts. BTCTalk is like an open golden pot. Hackers usually sent DOS attacks to weaken the site's security.

Same here. Been happening the same since the beggining of the day with some 500 Internal Error and sometimes very slow to load the pages and even to post replys takes much more time than usual.

Have you noticed... every time we are about to break some Bitcoin record price... this forum slow down to a snail pace. I

think everyone signs in to check what is driving this spike and to talk about the Moon.  Cool .... OR the competitors are jealous

and they want to divert the attention away from Bitcointalk or talks about Bitcoin and launch DoSS attacks against the forum.

Damn we are almost $6000 now and I'm sure this attack came from someone who are really jealous about bitcoin breaking new grounds again. Your guess who is attacking is a good as mine.  Grin. Just sad to see people attacking our friendly forum. Another assumption I can make is that there are really a lot of people trying to get it and celebrate this new ATH and get the sentiments of the forum. Or maybe FUD's wants to create another panic here. They can't really stop people from buying bitcoin, that only thing they can really so is to DDoS us.

It has been all day like this, it is most likely DDOS atack.

Funny but last couple of times it really happened when bitcoin price jumped.
Maybe it is just coincidence but probably not.

Woke up this morning, and bitcoin was right at $6000.

Thus forum is always super slow any time the price spikes.  Every time.  Probably the servers being overloaded by all the new accounts looking to shitpost, or it's people who just want to read about bitcoin.  We'll get back to normal within a day, and probably less than that.

Looks like everything is fine now, I'm able to open pages without error or timeout message but it is still pretty slow comparative to what type service we always get from this forum. Hope, it won't start lagging again because it makes me angry.

And the problem started again, unable to post this post.
