Same i haven't been able to log in the last day and a half. I tried a few times during the day to see if it was just because it was a busy time of day but couldn't get a page to load at all

Site was down from noon till at least 8pm yesterday, error 504 mostly.

I've had an astounding bit of 520 error and then long loads/refreshes alongside.

The site has been good for about half and hour for me, but just now has begun to lag and give errors. If needed, I live in West Virginia.

Edited to add:
The lag only seemed to last maybe 10 minutes. It seems ok now.

Lots of "Server returning an unknown error" messages tonight. 8:00PM Central

Site in general has been practically unusable for me since at least 6/4, it was acting up before then but it's been severe ever since. Lag has been severe, probably about a 2-5 minute wait for one page to open. Intermittently I've been getting "Web server is returning an unknown error," which usually lasts for a few minutes before I can load anything again. Sometimes I will get a few minutes of lag before getting another round of error messages, sometimes I immediately get another round, sometimes I get lucky and get longer before the next round. This is from the time span of 11am-12am CST that I consistently play this dance with the site, from what I've noticed it becomes basically inaccessible from 6pm-10pm. Though that's not always the case, as it's mostly just being laggy right now at 8:02pm for the last 30 minutes.

1st interesting thing I have noticed: The errors become constant and instant if I try to goldmine by opening multiple links at once, but if I exit out of those tabs and try to use the site normally, it tends to be just laggy. If I try to goldmine again, errors again. It almost seems like the site itself can't handle so many requests at once for some reason, even though I'm sure there's not a ton of people trying to work through the lag/errors right now.

2nd interesting thing I have noticed: The errors STOP and the lag, though still there to a degree, is 10x better after around 11:30pm-12am CST. At that time I'm able to access the site pretty normally and can even goldmine normally, with maybe the occasional 20 or so links giving me that error message out of the 400 I opened.

So, not sure what all this means... but there is a bit of a pattern going on, at least for me. If y'all are truly wanting to know what is going on on everybody's end and see if there's an overall pattern, I would probably make an actual site news post so people are aware y'all are wanting this information. I'm sure it'll probably be a lot of people just bitching about the errors or lag in general, but I'm also sure there's a lot of people who will care enough to actually take note of what's going on for their end instead of just complaining about something no one knows how to fix yet.

Sending love to the (probably) frustrated Magistream staff

Lag was/is terrible, particularly the last two days.
My experience: Error 520 can be usually handled by reloading once or twice after some seconds, but error 504 and 502 most of the time mean the site is down for a longer period of time.

We are having a team meeting this upcoming weekend and we'll inform y'all about the next steps about fixing the lag after that.

Love you guys, thank you for keeping us updated and keeping at this weird issue If it's any consolation, for whatever reason, today the lag and issues have been basically nonexistent. In fact it's been running smoother for me than it has in a loonggg time. Hopefully I didn't just jinx it but I wanted to give a little update for my side
