The Org has been under a pretty sustained DDoS attack for the past few days. I've tweaked the server config and banned various IP ranges that the attacks were coming from. Hopefully that won't affect any member.
Post here if you have any issues.
It has been pretty slow with me accessing pages currently, but not offline.

Same for me, to be fair - rather slow. Loading but heavy.

The server was doing some maintenance which is now complete. Any increase in performance?

Slight increase in performance, yes. Still a bit sluggish but better.

Probably due to the bandwidth being hogged by malicious requests. The server is now doing a good job of filtering them out but still consumes bandwidth. I'll keep an eye on it.

A quick update: the increased protection DDoS was causing some performance issues. I've been testing a few server side optimisations over the past few days. There were a few false starts but the site seems both stable and faster now.
Please let me know if you have an issue.
