I've seen this too - and if you look at the user stats when it happens it shows 0 online or logged in.

Let's hope not!  All is cool here.

Hi Jim, 

 

This has been happening over the last 48 hours or so.  Today....around noon time, EST, it was really bad.  Just thought to report....

Been happening to me 5 times in the last hour at UTC 1600-1800.

I've been getting it lots too. I wonder if this is only affecting people in certain parts of the world?

 

I'm in the UK.

I have noticed it too

I'm in Sweden

Same here - I'm in Canada.

Yes happening in Ireland as well.  Noticed first how slow the threads were moving,  then couldn't get into the site for ages at a time.    I thought Avsim was tired of me and kicked me out  :(

 

 

 

I noticed this around lunchtime today (Irish time). It seems better now though.

 

 

Same here this morning (Ireland) seems fine this evening though.

I never realised there was such a large Irish contingent...  :o
