difficulty getting onto forums
« on: July 17, 2014, 10:11:41 AM »
Hey gang

Anyone else having difficulties lately access the forums?  over the past three days there are lots of times when it either takes forever to load or I simply get a "504 error".  It's seriously annoying, and lately has been happening to me more often than not.
Other internet pages seem to load up fine.  Is this a traffic problem?

just curious.

Access to the forums has been spotty the last couple days for me.  Articles on the main blog seemed to be working fine though.

I take care to park my laptop close to the Interwebs and yet I have been having issues too.

I might as well throw my hat in the ring as one of the people having issues. I've had issues on my phone, home laptop and work laptop the past couple of days.

Proof that Arebelspy actually did (finally) post his 10,000 post and things are starting to implode here Y2K-style? 
I've had trouble getting on and staying on also.

Me, too. I just x out and try again later. I was thinking there must be a lot of traffic.
