Anyone else having issues? Is this X factor related or something?

When I meant blame the X Factor, I didn't mean it was some sort of X-Factor/Syco taking-over-DS-conspiracy more along the lines of I keep seeing 'BREAKING NEWS' banners and assumed something was going on in the X Factor subforum (I don't watch, care about or understand it)
All other websites seem to be loading fine, hence I thought it was DS being glitchy
And then post in their threads just to complain that DS is running slow...they obviously don't do irony.
Really? Strange what people get passionate about. Might go take a quick look for a laugh,
Just a thought...
They already have 'over 10' servers with full redundancy housed in London Docklands.
DS gets a hell of a lot of traffic, I think you are underestimating a little
Get a grip and stop moaning then.
Who was moaning?
I didn't criticize DS, I was trying to determine if there was a connection/DNS issue 'my end' or not
Edit: Just seen you've changed your post slightly. Well that's just rude, especially seeing as I said NOTHING critical or moany.
10 servers? Are those 10 DB & Web servers? Or is it 5DBs and 5 web servers?
Thought it would cope a bit better with that many machines in the farm. Maybe its the bandwidth thats the problem. Or maybe I'm totally underestimating the traffic.
No idea on specifics, grabbed that info from their 'About Me' page.
If this gives any real idea, they also say they have 7 million unique visitors per month and 'over 100 million page impressions per month'.
I'm sure Tom (or someone else from DS) said something like only 1% of people who visit post regularly on the forum, so there are a HELL of a lot of people coming here
Obviously not enough 'extra servers'
"Simples", as a computer-generated anthropomorphic meerkat would say.
It was totally shit about the same time you posted this.
