Any trouble accessing MLU lately?

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

Did anyone notice it was bloody near impossible to bring up a Forum window from about 0800-0830 EST this morning? Thereafter, both the Forum and my email has been hot/cold in that at one moment, it will refresh almost instantly and the next, about 2 minutes after the link has been clicked. It will be interesting to try this post, even.

I'm trying to chart all this to put together a solid case one way or another; I have found that sometimes ALL sites on the server are slow, yet other times it's just the Forum itself - and sometimes it's lightning-fast. This is a tricky one - I am tempted to say we're under a denial-of-service attack, but at this stage I really don't know; what I DO know is that my daily desktop spam load increased tenfold since last weekend suddenly. Interesting...
