Site Slow-Down

[Black Hole]

There was some kind of "event" at about 5pm, the forum was unusable when other websites were still working fine (and therefroe not my Internet connection causing it). I don't know how long the event lasted, but it's obviously OK now.

I was getting bad gateway errors. Then I managed to load the home page, eventually. Couldn't proceed further. Gave up trying around 9pm.

When the site was in 'full eclipse', I received an "504 Gateway Time-out" - from nginx (the application gateway service). It is possible that the site was being worked on, but who has access to check what happened?

I think /df was the last post at about 16:43 (I found afterwards). The site was broken (no error, just an hourglass and timeout) before 17:00 when I went out.
I think it came back around 22:30-22:45.

I was getting timeouts (with partial page loads, very slow) some time around 5.30. The 504 thing kicked in after that.
