Something Wrong With the Master Server?

[.::Taboo::.]

Point A. The forums are being extremely slow at the moment, and sometimes just not even loading.
Point B. The same applies to blockland.us, the main site, which I understand to be on a different server.
Point C. All other website I'm on work fine.
Point D. Authentication has failed for me on Blockland and it cannot connect to the master server to retrieve the server list.

I noticed the slowness this morning, thought it was my computer loading up.

My forums thing is being sluggish at the moment as well. I think it needs it's cup of morning Joe. I'll have to check on the other reasons, though...

I thought it was my internet until I realized all the other sites I go to work fine.

I just started up BL, it authenticated just fine for me. Perhaps it's only on the forums server here. I also checked the home page and no loading problems.
Either it's just the forums now or it's been fixed.

seems to work fine now, but yeah the forums were being unusably slow for me.

Yup, seems to work fine now.
This happened around Christmas too, maybe Baddy's just doing some maintenance now and then for something.

There is some kind of packet loss problem at the data center.  They are investigating right now.

Good to know it's being dealt with then.

Mystery solved, I guess.

I had this also.

Apparently someone else on the same network switch was under some kind of attack, causing the switch to become saturated.  The problem should be resolved now.

Seems to be doing it again.
