Unfortunately, the issue is still ongoing...

No. Since the issue was solved, forum and server had no offtime anymore.

I can confirm that I have not faced the problem since some time ago.

Forum was broken yesterday evening.

i can confirm Firoball i exeperienced the same

It may not have been completely offline anymore, but there are still peaks during the day where it keeps loading forever and does not show any page. I tried accessing it from several ISPs and different timeslots during the day but the result is the same...

Traffic and offtimes are visible in the server logs, so we can see when there's a problem with the server. There were no offtimes or exceptional peaks in the last days, but such a problem can of course have other reasons, maybe an issue of an Internet line or domain server.

The issue reported here at first was a real problem that indeed affected the server. It was a repeated attack on the forum and the wiki. That's why the Wiki is currently offline. We have to clean spam out of the database and add security measures, which can take some weeks. But this does not affect the forum.

I don't know ... the issue seems not be solved for me. Just right now doing a post took over a minute. Last night it took ages as well. And this still happens pretty regularly.

Same for me... Posting is fast as always, but the in initial load of the mainpage takes something between 30 seconds up to 1 minute, while DNS lookups to the server itself are fine.

Almost every night the same problem:
