Site slowness this weekend
The root cause of this issue is a database cluster node that got knocked out Saturday afternoon, meaning we've been running on 4 nodes instead of the usual 5. On top of that we're currently seeing higher than usual traffic, about 22% more than a usual Sunday, so not only are we running at 20% less power capacity but we're also serving 22% more users. I'm not entirely sure what the traffic bump is attributed to but it could perhaps just be an influx in people replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas in response to the announcement of Fallout 4 last week.
We're overdue an update news post on the recent changes we've made to both the site and one of the largest updates to NMM we've ever done, due to my extremely limited time at the moment, but that will come as soon as possible.
Lastly, we're still aware of the slowness on the forum side and we're still working on transitioning the forums over to a new server system that should resolve this issue.

Fixed now.

I've cleared cookies and restarted my browser to no avail.
I've been seeing the same thing off and on since the weekend. Happened again this morning. Over the weekend it was much longer than a few minutes, but this morning's issue seemed to be under an hour.
(East Coast of US if that information is useful)
on times of overload we could make note of the next mod we want to download and come back again.
you don't deserve complaints you deserve thanks for working so hard.
Sharing accounts is bad, mmkay.
There is nothing wrong with the sites for at least a week.
