Forum Down?

Was the forum down for anyone else today? Around 1:10 PM today I tried to post in the Guy Fawkes thread. When I posted, it kept loading and loading. I tried to reload the forum, it just kept loading and loading. I went to another website to make sure it wasn’t a problem with my internet access. It wasn’t. The forum was unavailable for about a half hour. Not big deal, but I thought it was worth asking if anyone else was having trouble getting on here at that time and I thought I should let Jay know of this.

I don’t see anything in the logs to indicate an extended outage, but the third party performance monitoring script that tracks the forum application has been causing the forum to crash several times per day 😕 I need to find a replacement, obviously.

The forum restarts itself within a second or two, and if you try to access the site during that brief period, it should just throw an error. The fact that you couldn’t access the site at all for a half hour is weird.
