Adding my 2 cents. The main AutoHotkey web site appears to operating normally. Also, the old forum (https://autohotkey.com/board/) is up running without any significant slow down. It's just the main forum that experiencing the 30+ seconds slowdown.

What I see in working through long lists of approval requests multiple times in recent days is that apparently new users (or with low post count) apparently don't realize that their post or request already got through. So they end up double- or triple-posting and/or requesting approval 5 to 15 times until they seem to be able to see one of their posts.

"Normal" users don't seem to be affected. Not sure, if this is of any use for trouble-shooting... might not be a reason for, but another consequence of the current problems.
The things that are going on with the "new users" (less than 20 posts) are really strange. Clearly, there is more to it than a throttling issue.

Quick update: everything is running normally except for networking issues related to our database server.
This is not a throttling issue, I've tested the forums with it off and there was no difference. Our host has been experiencing issues with some of their data centers.

On other fora there are plugins/functions in place that instead of blocking IPs insert 20-30 sec delays for certain ip ranges to discourage trolls, spammers etc.

If there is something similar on this fora perhaps something is wrong with that IP list? e.g. everyone gets the delay vs a small range of IPs?

If I understand joedf correctly, this possibility has already been excluded.

Probably you know it, every first HTTP Get takes a little more than 20 sec.

Same issue here in Atlanta. Takes about 30 seconds to load each page and not having issues with any other sites. Brutal!!!

Delay today (February 28, 2020, about 18:40 MST) is VERY consistent at ~=17 seconds. This holds true for whatever link I click on.

Apparently, "new users" (less than 20 posts) are getting timeouts in mass - making them re-submit their contributions and approval requests again and again.

It might be a good idea to make dummy answers like "Hello, here is your topic! Please don't create more duplicates!", if you see someone continously posting the same thing (mostly the team - only they can see the requests - but generally all users who notice it). Clearly, there is a lot of confusion if posts got through - at least for these users with certain restrictions.

Working through these duplicates and approval requests is also hit-and-miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
