So has anybody found out why the site is so terribly slow when sending page requests? A lot of time, I have to wait a good 20+ seconds for each page to start appearing which is a pain in the butt when I'm trying to edit posts and stuff.

It seems a lot better now but it'll probably turn all silly later.

I'm having issues with it trying (and failing, thanks to the time restriction) to make double posts. I wonder if there's some sort of auto-retry on failed requests or something, either on the server or in my browser.

I've have been having similar 10-20-30 second wait times seemingly at random when browsing for the past month or so. But due to my obvious inactivity 'round these parts it hasn't bothered me enough to start a thread. Just thought I'd add that it absolutely has nothing to do with traffic from the blog/contest.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, been going on for a while. However I might also add that since drp's post the site is very responsive, so whatever you did I thank you for it. :)

Same with me, surprisingly. Started a few days ago.

Maybe the internet is dying?

Yea, i've been having this issue since weeks before the contest/blog post. I assumed it was just my ISP being shitty, but then i havn't really had any issues with other sites.

The amount of double posts i've made... despite the 15 second wait between posts the lag that delays even more than those 15 seconds causes the second post to be made regardless.
