Any word/update on the status of server slow downs and what not?

[Son Goku]

As many are aware, there have been issues related with the server becomming a tad slow, and dropping out at other times over the last several months. Just again, came to check the forums when I got done paying the university bill...and the page seemed to stall for a bit...took a long time loading on the school's T3 lines here...

I guess there were some ISP issues or something earlier, or some random prob that was going on? Any status update on this matter?
