Site will occasionally stop working.

I have repeatedly got "Woops there seems to be a problem" with that weird -_- face or something. I can say without a doubt this is not an internet connection on my end, as I attempted it with a cellular device and received an identical image.
Now either that shows up or something like "The servers are not responding"

@we_must_evolve: its been happening for eight days now, I've reported it to staff.

@pikahyper:

Ok thanks

@pikahyper: any word on this as it just happened to me for the millionth time?

@seagod: not a word, it happens a lot and it is annoying but it is the end of the year so staff are rarely around.

I'm told this is either due to someone attacking the site with a DDOS or an app that's overloading the API at certain times. Our engineers and our network partners at Akamai are keeping an eye on this but I don't have a solid ETA on a fix.

@rorie: if it is a DDOS just check your callouts to see who.
