Slow website speeds

[~Z~]

Currently, the data center where this site resides is having issues with DDoS attacks, packet loss, and some routing problems all due to this. This is then causing this site to run slow browsing page to page, and seems to be happening on and off throughout the day. I'm very sorry for the issues this is causing you all on browsing and posting, but please be patient and I'll update this thread when I hear anything further on getting this issue resolve.

As of 12:20pm EDT, problem appears to have been fixed. Said to have been affecting 20% of their servers in their datacenter, and lucky us, we were one of them....
Said it was a looping problem on some network gear causing it..probably someone plugged in a network cord where they shouldn't have and made a circle in the switch line which = bad. Let me know if you see any further problems.
