I've got all the phone stuff blocked on mine, it's really improved the site for me
It is really easy to switch the blocked threads back on for a quick look, haven't seen anything interesting yet though
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

Yes the forums (but not the front page) have been very slow the last couple of hours. I've had several page timeouts too. All other websites have been lighting fast as usual (am on 24mbit/s connection here)
I got a 'server too busy, piss off for now' message a bit ago and a database error shortly after.
Same here, I've also had a few of the 'Server busy' messages over the weekend as well.
It was majorly screwed a couple of hours ago, but it's flying along for me now. Could be routing issues if it's only affecting some folk, but I'd imagine it was more likely server related.
I get the odd thread which won't load which is usually in the evening at about 7pm, so in the afternoon for all you folk across the pond.
I hate you, I hate you
, stuck in lala land on the westside where long copper lines with voice noise filters galore, kill DSL, cable costs too much, and promised fiber optic lines will be installed anytime now (next century). 56k max, lol (~256k on crappy DSL, which drops more often than dialup).I did not get that part of the message
, maybe they just don't like you I got that for about 5 minutes ~30min ago when there were a few less online as compared to 10minutes ago when my connection got dropped (I blame MR of course):
Currently Active Users: 3427 (416 members and 3011 guests)
It's slow always for me @56k dialup, but I"m used to that
What do you mean maybe?...

See? MR is slow because the servers are busy carrying a bunch of lurking twunts! the bloody cheek of it!
The site seems slower for me today than usual. I would imagine that as Apple expands it's product lines and gains marketshare, MacRumors readership will grow - stressing the servers further.
I bet DoctorQ could draw us a nice line graph with the specific numbers.
I won't claim to know much about PHP / web servers... but I've heard that FastCGI can really speed up PHP based sites, if you're not running it already:

It's probably all the attention on the Leopard Impressions thread.It's definitely been slow tonight.
