The forum was down for me most of the afternoon and now is incredibly slow. Is it me or a general problem?

I felt sooo lost for the last few hours...

I am still having problems with some forum and searches loading.

Yeah I'm on FF and all I get is a white screen when I click Forum links.

I think the Criterion announcement crashed the forum.

I'm guessing all the traffic in Book Talk overloaded the site.

It was totally screwed. Really messed up. Bonkers even.

It still is for me. I have to keep refreshing my browser to load the pages.

Yep

It's down right now!

Server issue. Looks like IB's working on it, but sporadic outages might be happening for a while.

I was asleep during the whole thing.

The forum's running pretty sucky right now though.

I'm tired too, since I just woke up and all.

So there's that...

I did the same thing I do when Playboy isn't available, browsed through an old Sears catalog.

I was forced to actually watch some DVDs instead of just reading/writing about them.

Yes, there were some network related issues which cause some downtime.

Also Obama was in town and apparently all the energy was sucked out of the internet and surroundings.

...moving to political forum....
