The same thing here!
It was loading V E R Y slow for me at times, but at other times, it was fine. (This slowness was most apparent on OMNI, but it happened on other forums too.)
This morning, I was on until about 10:30 AM. When I tried to sign back on about 11:30 AM, it said it was down. About 11:40, I got on. At first, it was fine, but then it S L O W E D down again.
In fact, it took me almost a minute to open this thread!
