Everything is working fine
Thank you.

That's great news!

Good work tank. Everything does indeed seem normalized.

OK so we seem to have stablized and reduced the impact of what was going on to an acceptable level. disk usage utilization for outbound is now back within norms. performance seems to have stableized

slow again

Seems like a viable and good option for mitigation.

Seemingly fast for me

8pm Eastern and everything is working fast again

again very slow, it seems to be more intermittent now (fast, then slow, then fast..)

Now website works fine for me.

Something I am exploring

doesnt seem like the dns has finished propagating i will check again later

Again very slow.

autohotkey.com works really good for me now.

it is but as i mentioned cloudflare has presented other issues in the past for us.
I have enabled it again for a test run

cloudflare CDN was free i thought

Unless try to go for a CDN in the hosting budget?
:/

at minimum, Cloudflare should be used for the main website and the docs. even those are slow, which is completely ridiculous

AHK noob here. I agree with func: "If it breaks the forum for some, they may have to live with finding out why." As a noob, I require all the online help I can get, via documentation and forums, but if I'm forced to wait 30-60 seconds per page load, well, I'm probably not going to embrace AHK as much as I'd like.

What percentage of the entire AHK online user base is "some"? Do we know why it breaks for "some" users but not others? Please tell me it's not IE6, cuz, really...

(BTW, thanks for AHK! I found a script via Google that turned hours of TEDIOUS and error-prone work into 20 minutes of very less tedious and accurate work. It has me itching for more!)

I am getting extremely slow loading as well, I used a website to test from another location as well:
Load time of https://autohotkey.com/boards/ w. Pingdom Tools: 30.57 s from San Jose, California, USA. Size: 286.7 kB. Rqsts: 30. http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/d2JxaK/htt ... om/boards/

I second the vote for a cloudflare like technology, many popular forums I go to use it. If it breaks the forum for some, they may have to live with finding out why.. If reddit uses it, then you might have to upgrade from IE 6
