It is surely causing frustration to both the performers and the members so wonder if they should consider feedback at this point.
Never seen the site is such a crash mode and hey try accessing your notification list or favorites list in your profile. The link seems to be gone.
Time to speak up guys as we don't wish to lose this site.

"Yesterday we experienced an unprecedented distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on our network causing some of you to get booted offline temporarily. The attacks were spread hours and sometimes minutes apart, overwhelming our entire network with so much traffic the site was unreachable.
While incredibly disruptive, during these attacks no data was at risk; the attacks simply aim to make the site unreachable and they succeeded several times.
We are working with our ISP to determine where the attacks originated. We are also in talks to increase our attack handling capacity as attacks of this sort are a regular occurrence for the most popular sites on the Internet. Just this year some pretty major networks have been taken offline by similar tactics.
Apologies to those of you who have been affected during what continues to be our best August on record. We are going to continue investing time and money into increasing our capacity to deal with these events and to reduce their frequency.
If you find yourself kicked offline please log back in as soon as you can as these attacks tend to be fairly short lived. We will continue to try to post information in the forums and on Twitter as fast as possible" Quote
