Is it just me, or is Neogaf slow today?

Seriously, ignoring me there hasn't been a post in over an hour. The first page in every section goes back a good 7 hours. Don't think I've ever seen either of these things (community doesn't count :p).

Slow news day I guess? Or am I crazy? There's a conspiracy here.

Update:
It appears my conspiracy theory was not unfounded. Neogaf has been down for awhile (and may have been having problems for longer) for most. We lonely few have been chosen to stay in the holy land. But why?

Update 2:
Seems it was down for a long ass time, but now all is good again. Whatever we were chosen for, we have failed.

Update 3:
Down again. The chosen few have been given another chance?

Update 4:
It seems to be back up for some more people. At around the same time it has slowed down drastically for me. Coincidence? I think not.

Update 5:
Looks like it's back for real. Let the celebration begin.

Update 6:
It seems punishment can not be cut and dry in this dark time. The tower of hope has come crashing down once again with nary a few souls around to survive the disaster.

Update 7:
The reason for the outage has been discovered. Someone is attacking Neogaf. Why did some survive? Who knows dear readers? Who Knows?

Update 8:
And we're back. Maybe for realsies this time. Let this period of return be a time of reflection. And stuff. Maybe move to Australia cause some of us had the Neo the whole time.

Yeah I thought the same but I think it appears to be down for a lot of people. We happen to be one of the few with access?
What the hell? I checked Twitter (always people being sad when Gaf goes down there) and yes, this does seem to be the case.

Are we trapped on the deserted island that is Gaf?

Yeah the website has been acting weird the last 8 or so hours. I've been able to access it intermittently but it's been slow and there's barely any activity.

I don't think I've ever seen the site have technical issues for this long before.

I don't think I've ever seen a site go down for everyone but a few before haha
 
The VPN I use was having trouble accessing NeoGAF, and only NeoGAF. Once I switched to another server problem fixed itself. Not sure if that helps in anyway.

Hmmm maybe Australia isn't affected?

I dunno, Ausgaf is actually pretty big and it's still prime time. We'd be running amok in here if we all still had access. At best it's probably only parts. (I'm in Perth btw, if we want to make a tally).

I'm in Melbourne, and I straight up couldn't get to Neogaf about 5 hours ago. Since then I've been able to get on, but it's been suuuuper sluggish. Takes a good 15-20 seconds to load pages.
Perth and it hasn't been down for me all day (assumingly at least, I haven't been on all day). Loading normal for me now, but I always have crappy Internet.

The mobile site was down for me for a good part of the afternoon but, know that I think about it, I was able to access the desktop site every time I checked. Admittedly I didn't check the Desktop site that often. Guess Perth got it the easiest.

Oh well, looks like the nightmare is over. Fun times.

Nope, Looks like we're back to the wastelands. Is it just me this time or does anyone else have access?

I'm still here tho!

Well munchie64, I guess we really are the last of us.
I'm sorry, I had to

Seriously though I'm wondering what's going on. The desktop site is timing out on me too now. I wonder if this is a DDOS attack maybe.

Yeah, there wasn't a single hitch for me. No slow down or anything.

lol

Even if it was a DDOS this would still be strange right?

Since it seems as if very few people have access we may as well talk amongst ourselves. How was everyone's day? What are all you Perth-ians doing on GAF on Friday night at 10pm?

I could be making the last post on every front page topic on all forums right now but I'd rather not be banned.

I'm struggling through Arkham Knight on PC. Gonna have a pretty chill weekend cause it was a hard week.

Edit: I assume your a Dragon Ball fan? Looking forward to Super?

My day was good, but since I don't have anything on tonight I'm just switching back between gaf and porn before I go to bed. How 'bout you mate?

Is it back on sale? Did they fix it? I have a 970 so I've been wondering if I could just brute force my way through most problems. I don't mind the occasional slow-downs.

Ahh so it's not just Australia? Strange.

It's still off the store. I just was foolish and didn't refund.
This article says you should be ok. The recent patch made it look at least as good as PS4 too.

Just been reading and debating whether to get up on time to go shopping tomorrow morning.

Oh the Daily Show reruns. Would be interesting to see how the show (and Stewart) have evolved since then. I personally remember first hearing of him around the time of launch of The Colbert Report.
