There are some forum speed issues as somebody is using okhttp against us but hopefully it should improve in time.

I've seen this a few times in the last 24 hours:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Too many connections [1040]

An sql error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact an administrator if this problem persists.

Problems are still ongoing.

I will be taking some action over the next few days since I am now at home so there might be further disruption.
