Seems like the site is yet again experiencing a DDOS attack. Difficulties accessing the site are to be expected - not much you can do here. The forum, while stable, drags like a dying horse on my end. (size=3pt)didn't realise this was a pun until I finished writing it out(/size)
Either that, or
Cloudflare is making the site difficult to use.
(With due apologies for beating a dead horse.)
