Forge website issues

[Flenix]

Firstly 2 things:

1. Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I couldn't see any "site issues" sections. I did read the rules but it didn't say either way about site issues.

2. I don't mean to offend anyone by this; I'm simply asking.

 

 

Anyway;

Over the past few weeks, whenever I try and use the Forge forums or wiki, every now and then I'd be redirected to the cloudfare system telling me the site was offline. It'd maybe happen once every 6 hours, for around 20 minutes - not an issue as I could do something else.

However, since Monday, I've barely been able to get on the site at all. I've actually been trying to post this thread since Wednesday, but I kept giving up. It's also worth noting that instead of cloudfare, I'm getting just a 503 error.

 

What I'm asking, is is this something on my end, or is this a known issue? If it's something on my end I obviously want to fix it, which is my main reason for asking, but if it's a known issue is there any planned solution for it?

 

Please don't think I'm slating the site or anything because I'm not; it's an incredibly useful resource for me as someone new to modding, the only reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to use it

 

Thanks

 

 

EDIT

It happened again so here's the exact message:

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

And in my tab at the top, it has a prefix of 503 before the Service

I have been experiencing the exact same problem, so it's not just you.

Me too—only when I try to load a page, it takes about a minute, then either gives me the same 503 or the page loads normally. This is making the Forge website nigh unusable.

Known. According to cpw, the host is having problems with us. We're the biggest site they host, you see.
