Yeah, and it seems to be getting worse. I was on earlier and it wasn't this bad. Now it's taking a long time to do anything.

Very slow response time (0752) on 10/24/2026).
Other sites (like car sites) are fine.

Much better now. 0800.
Thanks for flagging this, and sorry for the slow morning. An automated scraper was pulling old threads very fast between about 9am and 11am Eastern, and the server spent its time on that instead of on you. We blocked it, it switched disguises, and it got back in for a while. It's blocked again as of 12:40 Eastern.
If pages crawl again, please post the time here. That helps us find it faster.

Slow again at 10:30 EDT.
Edit: Okay, temporary slowness. Seems to be better now.

Thanks for the report. A wave of automated traffic hit the forum this morning and slowed every page. We blocked it at about 09:35 UTC, and pages have loaded normally since.
