    Has anyone else had a problem with /. being sluggish or unresponsive the past few days? Is Slashdot being slashdotted?

      I thought it was just the crap-tastic T1 here at work. But yeah, in the afternoons, especially, Slashdot gets slashdotted for me.

      It's not just sluggish, it just outright hands me an "Internal service error." Refresh fixes it.

      I'm on Verizon DSL. But I've never had /. be so consistently intermittent (if that makes any sense) until recently. Other sites fine. Changing browsers makes no diff. Overpopulation? Mass unemployment? Puzzled.

      Not just you -- I'm having major problems with the site as well, getting timeout errors every nearly every time I try to go to a new page. And especially when trying to reply to posts (it took four attempts to get the reply page to come up for this message).

      Maybe Slashdot is getting Slashdotted? ;)

      I haven't noticed any problem.
