Man, I'm waiting up to 4 hours with IE, and still no error.

Are you still on the board in another window, though?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Nope. I tried overnight and everything.

This is going to take some puzzling out.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I don't know if it's my connection or the site, but I'm on a T1 line and I've been getting timed out and having trouble connecting for abou half an hour (since 11:30 a.m. EST).

Host response time is glacial this morning.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Same thing is happening to me. It's taken me several tries to get to this page. No idea if post will take...

I can't pinpoint if it's a net congestion problem (other non-Hostrocket sites are dicking with me this morning as well) or a more localized one (since the server itself seems healthy).

It's definitely a hostrocket network congestion problem. Doing a traceroute to www.buffistas.org shows that the congestion starts as soon as the packets hit the hostrocket network:

$ traceroute www.buffistas.org
traceroute to buffistas.org (66.162.73.252), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets

My samspade.org traceroute has the congestion starting from the twtelecom.net part of the path.

So, what you're saying is, I need to go Minear on the host?

Tom and ita might as well be speaking in tongues.

But it's nice to know that someone can find the source of the problem.
