The site is very slow...

I'm really puzzled by this mystery. And I still do not have any trouble reaching or loading the site from home(Time Warner) or work (University).

Still, other are having some real consistent trouble.

Hmmm, makes me think about NameServers/DNS and who is handling it? Has it always been the same? Some of these descriptions sound like the name could not be resolved.

Had a near 1 hour timeout (site entirely unreachable) at about 12 pm (MST) today, tested on multiple browsers (FF, IE, Chrome, Safari), multiple systems (PC, Mac, iPad and iPhone), and over ADSL and 3G.

Not a biggie, just wanted to give a heads up.

For once, I think that may have coincided with some maintenance work the hosting company were doing.

That would explain not being able to connect at all or the occasional extreme lag (which I've had in the past too), but not the various "VB database error" messages.

FWIW, these messages are pretty generic and not necessarily indicative of a problem with the database content since any error at all (including failure to connect in the first place) that is caught by VB will result in this page being shown.

VB is a bloody horrid system anyway.  Shame.

Received a invalid response.

My IP address has been blocked etc,  message sent to webmaster.

Is this anything to do with the ongoing issues??

Starting to get annoying now quite frankly.

I had to turn off the cache, bots from banned ip ranges were filling it up with ip ban notifications and there were login complications for a few people too. So were back to running out of db connections far more frequently instead.
