I believe it's from your end as I have never experienced it today, although I am not regular online since morning maybe we can say there's a system update going on.
I also experienced this, but it seems just happen recently. So, it didn't happen a whole day. However, it is likely over already, there is no longer a problem in accessing forum.
I think it is not about the maintenance or system update, the problem is on the host. Not sure what happened, but it is a common issue by the way.
Sorry today I noticed what they were complaining of because after I came back from my place of worship I decided to glance through the forum to see what is going and read some news around, and there was topic that looks so catchy to me and I wanted to comment but I wasn't to submits my post that was when i knew something was wrong.

Well lets see if any other person experienced this as well.
I'm also experiencing the same thing - but only 1 of the 5 tab I have open. But now it seems pretty normal - I mean no problem anymore even if I have 5 to 10 tab open at the same time.
System updates don't seem to bother the forum - this has happened many times. Theymos doesn't rule out attacks like DDOS or other attacks as imamusma quotes.
I just did as said of to close some tab i noticed it was freely load and submitting post. I started experiencing same issues today after not being regular online, when login I senses same issues. But now is perfectly working fine without any delay.
