Update @Newar, it is in Meta. Theymos answered too.

Yes, I see. Even before he posted this topic here, odd  Huh


It didn't answer my observation, but it's back to normal for me.
Right, this belongs in Meta. I had Meta blocked and forgot it existed, so I stuck it under "Technical Support"

Should probably be in Meta, but I noticed "weird" things today too like smileys not showing and the "coins" under the member names showing as ***.

Try doing

wget http://bitcointalk.org

three times in quick succession. The first two will succeed. The third one will stall, wget will retry, and then it will work.

This seems to be some kind of DDOS prevention thing, but failing after two tries is way too soon.  I noticed this because our web crawler at "sitetruth.com" thinks bitcointalk.org is down, or has no web site.

What's doing this?
