Is it just me or has AutoHotkey.com slowed down considerably is the last couple of days? Links that used to be near instantaneous now take 3 to 10 seconds to complete. I hope it's just a short-term fluke.

Them be my thoughts...

This might be a potential DDoS against the site...

Forum was dead this morning, there was an error in SQL database. Probably some kiddies were playing with some vulnerabilities in phpBB.
I don't think it was a DDos, I could open the Autohotkey Start Page easily. Isn't the forum on the same server?

I wouldn't use the words 'a lot', but a at least a few (4 - 7) times a month the site is unusable to me, for these same issue. I normally wait an hour or so and everything works itself out.

Why would someone attack a QA/Help forum, seems like there is no value in it. I guess other than peoples email addresses and 'profile' info.
