In the past few days, I've noticed that this site has become really slow, and the 502 errors have been coming up all the time. It's not that my computer is slow, or my internet. On the contrary, it loads every website I go on no problem... Except this one.
I don't know whether or not this is a Curse issue, or if there's just an abnormal amount of traffic right now due to the 1.8 release, but the servers here need to be boosted up. These errors have been happening for a while now, and it's getting pretty bad.
Am I the only who feels this way?
It's because 1.8 is out. Everyone's logging on to the forums. Minecraft's really popular, if you haven't noticed. The server just can't handle all the traffic all the time.

Really? Minecraft is popular? Since when!?
On a serious note, that's what I've been thinking too. However, the site's still running very slowly with lots of errors. Even though this spike in traffic is temporary, the site should still get an update or boost or something, for the next time traffic increases, or if the traffic doesn't decrease by much. As you said, Minecraft is a popular game, so the site should be able to handle the traffic of the fans.
You know what you should do to help the forums perform better? Make pointless threads. Then everyone can reply with pointless, single-sentence musings.
