Forums loading slowly?

I've been getting intermittent problems trying to load pages on the forum for a few days now, maybe a week or two, can't remember when it started exactly.
Sometimes when I try to load a page and it just sits for a while, feels like a minute or two although I haven't remembered to time it, then loads and works normally again for a while. The front page isn't affected, and I think the forum index works too. But if I try to go from the forum index into a forum or thread while the problem is happening it doesn't load until the whole thing starts working again. I haven't noticed it happening more or less at any particular time of the day, but haven't payed much attention to that. This problem crops up for me multiple times per day.
It's become annoying enough that I thought I should mention it and see if it's happening to anyone else.
edit: Just happened at around 12:32-33 PM pacific time, and I clocked it at about 25-30 seconds.

longest i've had to wait has been over a minute... closing the page and starting from scratch normally helps, i'd assumed it was something weird with my connection... good to hear someone else is having issues with it too.
Oh man maybe we that had them should bust out our old we do not speak of it sigs just to be on the safe side?

Dude thats like saying Bloody Mary in front of a mirror. You just don't do it.
Anyway I have noticed the occasional hiccup here and there. Pages taking 15-20 seconds to load, and once or twice timing out. I've never had to hit F5 more than once since the new forums were deployed though, so I'm not worried. Compared to the problems that shall not be named of before, this is heaven.
May we never speak of these dark days again.

I didn't think to SS it, though.

It has also been slow loading at times.
By at times i mean at all times in the past few weeks.

That one? I've had it occasionally. And it was mentioned earlier in the thread.
edit: whoops I hadn't realized it was already being fixed (sorry).
Apparently we are impatient, ungrateful assholes who need to die.
Are you high?
That probably came off as me exaggerating and being an asshole. I was just acknowledging that I realized my post didn't help.
i just wanted to report that i seem to be experiencing the same random slowdowns. it's intermittent, but every couple of minutes or so the forums seem slow to load, going back to normal a little bit after. if it's any help, i'm on the east coast.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think that the majority of us are only posting our issues to try and help, not to bitch about having to wait a whopping 20 seconds extra for a page load every once in a while.
Whenever I have a long page load, I usually stop and think about all of the productive things I should be doing instead of posting on a webforum, and then I'm about to get up and do something and oh hey new posts in the Portal thread let's go see what they are.

Yes, this. I'm only posting because I noticed that the issue is getting worse (got some timeouts and 504s today) and I thought the feedback might be helpful.
P.S. Ramius, don't feel bad.
You will fix it some day.
occasionally usually about once very half hour but not nearly as bad as it was earlier this month
I'm just curious.
I seem to get certain hang ups at random times, forums work fine, then I click and it takes about 10-15 seconds to load a page. Then just back to normal.
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
I'm sure that Ramius'll get it sorted when he can. He said something about it requiring some sort of multi-week timeline, from memory.
