Why does the forum lag so much from 9 AM to midnight?

What is the point of uploading YouTube clips when the site is already struggling like this? It just feels like more unnecessary strain on an already congested system... though, I suppose I haven't had any issues with it lately. Perhaps they finally patched something. I haven't touched my settings or reinstalled anything, yet the forum loads just fine...

It shouldn't be an issue since the stream isn't actually running directly from the forum site but is being pulled from YouTube, though honestly, I can't think of any other forum besides this one that doesn't offer an embed option anyway.

Man, this is a total disaster. First I get hit with a 503, then a 504. Now the document says it doesn't even contain any data? Absolute joke.

The forum has been running quite smoothly for some time now... no more daily glitches or interruptions. It functions as expected. I had simply set an error message to ignore that kept popping up...

I haven't been able to log in for a few days after midnight! It's a total nightmare.

This is just Jerry's new vision for the forum—don't bother complaining. If you like it, great; if not, go hang out on Google ☕

Google just started throwing 503 errors at me too. 😬

The forum is acting up for me too... it works fine once in a while, but just now I couldn't even post a basic emoji! 🙂Okay, it's working perfectly now... maybe things will stabilize 🙂

See? As soon as I restarted the app, everything's back to normal. 😬

Honestly, this forum is starting to get on my last nerve. I went ahead and installed an ad blocker—or whatever you call those things—but even then, the site keeps glitching out on me. I’m getting hit with constant 503s, 504s, 400 errors, and God knows what else. It’s just sluggish and broken all the time...🙂

I couldn't log into the forum after midnight last night. It’s one thing when the site is just running slow, but being completely locked out—where even the homepage wouldn't load—is another level of frustration.
I kept trying for the next hour, but nothing worked. 🤷By the time it finally came back online, I had already gone to bed. Honestly, I wouldn't have been surprised if the same thing happened again this morning.

On top of that, the icons for uploading images and links aren't working now, and obviously, neither are the emojis. Just great. ☕

is the issue just that the servers are too weak to handle such a massive influx of users all at once, or is there something else going on?------

Ever since midnight, the pages have been loading incredibly fast! Is it just because everyone finally hit the hay, or did they actually upgrade the tech behind the scenes?

Everything’s been running smooth on my end ever since I finally installed an adblocker...
It was holding up pretty well all through the day, but now that it’s evening, things are starting to lag like crazy.🙂

It’s been acting pretty slow for me too—sometimes it feels like it's flying, but then out of nowhere, it just hits you with those errors..

What is actually going on with this forum today? I can barely even get it to load.
