Ive noticed the website and forum slows down to almost dead when the game server starts to play up, almost like they are hosted on the game servers... very strange. (and its not just because the site/forum may be busy)

    I suspect much like CCP and EVE, the database server that does STO also does the STO forums. When it gets the hump... everything gets the hump.

    Also it is the massive influx of people who have crashed out of the game racing to the forums to see what is going on. So one sever drops thousands of users, and another one gets rushed by the same thousands of users.
