Anyone else having problems with the site this morning?

I saw earlier that the Amazon web service had a huge failure and it took some collateral damage with it. Evidently it messed up the web some.
The web in general is loading pretty slow on my device too.

That would explain a lot. I'll ride it out a little longer and hopefully it will fix itself.

Prolonged AWS outage takes down a big chunk of the internet

The issue seems fairly widespread.

I don’t use AWS directly for anything o the site, but I know my ad server does and probably cloudflare which would definitely explain things. Sucks but what’re ya gonna do.

Yeah, 99.9% sure that it was the AWS outage caused this. Gonna move to support and just let it be.
