Does this have something to do with WrongPlanet's servers not being able to keep up with the large number of users, or is the forum software itself still glitchy?

probably the former. i come back to this site after such long absences (for me) and this makes it hard to keep going.

I think WP should do a kickstarter or something to fund better servers. I'd donate.

Right after the upgrade late last year this 'offline' error stopped happening but now I keep getting it many times. And sometimes loading takes a minute or more. It's pretty much the same as the old WP.

i got it rarely, inter intermittently last year but it's definitely interrupting my posting, yeah. although i'd rather have these over "smilies data" or "error in posting" messaged where the message couldn't go through at all.

I just click on the button to reply and it happened. The error message showed that there could be error between the CludFlare in Frankfurt and the host of the forum site. Or at least for me.

I made a printscreen if anyone intrested.
