Not sure of the exact time when things started to slow down on site here, but, going by the log in time when I first noticed.. it was around 8, 9 p.m., EST.

Me, here in Canada, and another member from the U.S... reported the site grinding to a halt of sorts.. last night. So, am assuming that the membership at large (Europe and elsewhere) are experiencing similar.

Hang in there, peeps.. we shall see what is what.

As it's been suggested that it could be site maintenance that is the culprit.

Or, for that matter.. the colocation facility that houses the site server doing some maintenance of it's own.
