This morning, I got worried when I noticed an unusual delay that took hours and different than previous time where it took only few minutes. I texted some friends and tried using different devices thinking the issue might be only on my device or my home network. But after checking websites like isitdownrightnow, I discovered that the problem is with everyone. In my opinion this is a serious issue, and even the administrators here are not aware of the main reason and why it took longer this time. I'm wondering if the problem is related to Cloudflare or the hosting servers, and I believe the hosting company can provide an answer for this error and suggest ways to prevent it.
 Some of us can't live without Bitcointalk for even few hours LOL!

Luckily or unluckily (don't know what to call it), I did not experience this big outage today and the reason for this was that I wasn't online on bitcointalk at this moment.

However, i know that these days we often experience outages in bitcointalk, the previous recent one was experienced by me when Re: Bitcointalk was down .

It is true that we cannot live without bitcointalk but what worries me is that theymos is also not sure why the forum is facing too many of these downtimes recently.
It was the same weird thing which caused a few hours of downtime 6-12 months ago, and I think it's what causes the few minutes of downtime people observe every few weeks. I've never been able to figure out what causes it.
