Is DU running slow today for some reason? Or is it just me? (09-12-25 3:50 PM EDT)

I've rebooted and started everything from scratch. Every other site online is responsive, but DU is still slow. I hope it gets better soon.

I am having the same slow experience. Not a major problem, but worth noting.

Glad to know it was just a temporary issue. I guess I was impatient and frustrated for no good reason.

Things are starting to warm up here... maybe it's just that one of the servers went off line and the remaining one/s had to carry the entire load.

I'd thought it was some sort of attack like the admin posted about the other day.
