Been quite slow loading today on Chrome and Mobile Safari. Got a database error trying to access ATOT not that long ago.

Update: I just got the strangest error.
This forum requires that you wait 15 seconds between posts. Please try again in 12667 seconds.
Umm, what? I've tried to post this three times already but it won't let me. I have to wait 3.5hrs between posts now? Something is seriously FUBAR.

I'm glad it's not just me. Came to check this subforum to see if anyone else was reporting this, suspicions confirmed.

Using Chrome here - for the past few days, this site has been crawling intermittently. It's not once been as snappy as it used to be prior to this "event", but sometimes it crawls a little faster than at other times.

I've also gotten those random database errors of which others have spoken.

The database is hosed. It's giving incorrect post times for posts, and threads are going AWOL.

It's not quite as bad as last week, but the sub-forums are still taking about 5 seconds to load. However, once you click on an individual thread, it's super fast.

The issue where it was requiring you to wait several hours between posts seems to have been resolved. Forums seem faster today.

It was back to normal speed for me yeaterday, then went to the wait 20,000 seconds before you can post again, and is now back to a snails crawl.
