Anyone else experiencing random bits of downtime on the forums lasting like 5 minutes or so? 

Yeah, I have also noticed this, but it's not very disturbing thankfully.  :)

How long has this been going on?   They switched me over to some sort of power system upgrade almost exactly 24 hours ago, but other than that nothing I know about has changed.

Some months? It is rather frequent, unpredictable and hugely annoying. The downtime can also be longer than a few minutes. Also, at late evenings and at nights in Europe (GMT+1) the site can be VERY slow to respond and load.

You won't have trouble supplying the Countess with cats, or producing the annual idols to be offerred to the castle. Every fortress is a pale reflection of Ghormenghast..

Logging in from the office, I see downtime of about five minutes roughly every two or three hours or so.  Of course I'm only on here infrequently, so it might be more common than that.

Hmm.  I'll note that if I'm reading stuff right up until it goes unresponsive, then as soon as it goes responsive again, there's generally no new comments on anything.  Implies, to me, that everyone has the same outages (which might have been obvious to some people...)

Eh, a bit of a bump but oh well.  I think I'm going to write myself a little batch file that will ping the server every few minutes to see if it's up and record times when it's down.  I'll go ahead and post it whenever I finish it.  I'm going to suggest running for a day or two (it really won't hog much in the way of resources, and the drain on the server ought to be incredibly low) to see if times correlate.

Yeah, I've been in contact with support about this, but because it's sporadic, they are currently at the "it seems fine to us" phase.  I've provided them some information they've requested and we'll see how it proceeds.

Just had another 20 minute slowdown.  Surely they have a way of tracking this?

That's what I thought.  Maybe they do and don't bother unless the person complaining cares enough to complain persistently or something.  My ticket is ongoing.

It's been happening to me lately (normally during 5-minute homework breaks  :'() but I only noticed yesterday that it was only this forum.

Yeah I've also noticed this. The slowdown happened like ~13 hours ago.

Toady, maybe it's not so important, but the website was down for a few minutes again like ~30-40 minutes ago.
