Forum's down—can anyone help?

It’s the same story... it’s been going on for a few days now. 😠
The main index page loads just fine... but the subforums are completely inaccessible... it's limited strictly to the general discussion boards. 👎

I can't quite put my finger on what's broken... but this is an issue that requires immediate attention.

Chrome is running sluggishly and failing to load any content at all... and I'll provide a specific example shortly.
I have already cleared my cookies and cache... yet the problem persists.

Everything seems to be running perfectly smooth at the moment, as I haven't touched a single setting...

It’s finally up and running again, though I’m crossing my fingers that it actually decides to stay that way... 😉

Ugh, I just set up a brand new account, but I’m totally stuck... I can't post anything or even do the basics. It's like all I can do is log in and then immediately log right back out.
Do I need to be waiting on some kind of activation email or something? Because I haven't seen a single thing hit my inbox.

I can't seem to search through my own posts or threads, which is honestly pretty annoying since I'm not exactly some power user hanging out here every five minutes 😢
