similarlyIt seems to be worse today/yesterday. Haven't been able to access the site most of the day.
They were performing maintenance today in attempts to fix the problem but unfortunately something else went wrong in the process resulting in the website being completely offline for hours. [src]I started experiencing this today as well, how come it's starting to affect more people?
Nope, it wasn't that.

It's because the actual issue is not fixed yet. We are not sure what it is yet and earlier outage was indeed related to troubleshooting that.Nope, it wasn't that. I did see the website go offline, but I'm actually getting slow response times every now and then
Any progress?It's because the actual issue is not fixed yet.
Originally, a hardware problem was suspected. Some parts were replaced (or attempted) during the extended downtime.Any progress?
On MySQL I had similar issues with OTS site. When SQL query with 5 joins hit limit of some in memory buffer and MySQL started generating some temporary file on SSD. Query execution time was 10.000 times longer. Result was cached, so for some people on random page (highscores, whoisonline et.c) it loaded for 3 minutes (refresh cache) and other users on other pages had no issue. Tuning MySQL config fixed issue.
