You may have seen an error page mentioning cloudflare and railgun, or maybe you've just had very slow load time for the site.
Unfortunately, other than monitoring it, there's nothing staff can do. We don't have railgun, the error page isn't accurate on what to do.
What's actually happening is Cloudflare, the company we use for DDoS, CDN, and SSL, security, basically, is having outages in the servers nearest to our site, Philadelphia. Our service is getting re-routed to their other servers so we aren't down completely, but until the outage in Philadelphia is solved, we will still experience these minor lapses in service.
While there's nothing we can do to stop this, I would suggest you save any posts you care about, and please have patience. I am currently looking into how necessary cloudflare is as well as alternatives, and as always suggestions are appreciated.

This is where you can check yourselves to see how Cloudflare is going; you'll probably see under north america that 'philadelphia, PA' is 'rerouted' or says 'partial outage'. The page also lists a date for maintenance on CloudFlare on July 11th, but that should NOT effect the site, only that we won't be able to use cloudflare's site itself.
You can also check past incidents with CloudFlare if you're curious. It's not the best around, but we don't have the budget atm for paying a whole lot more than free. There may however be better free security services around, and rest assured we're doing what we can to find the best!
I will be updating the facebook page as well if anything new occurs, so check there if you can't get on here, and as always feel free to shoot the page a message; I can't always respond immediately but I WILL respond as soon as I can.
