Constant Forum Outages

I have been getting constant forum outages today, seems the hardware on the vanilla forums cloud is not quite up for the job.

I've often been getting either a notice saying they are under too much load, or just complete time outs.

Reflects pretty poorly vanilla's cloud infrastructure, or perhaps poor judgement by ZoS in not selecting an enterprise ready solution. Poor judgement may well be the case, check their pricing it seems aimed at much smaller deployments. I would expect that a forum like this would exceed 3M page views in way less than an hour.

FYI on the outsourcing of these,

    Anyone else having these issues, seems to be worse when these super long unplanned Maintainence occur, I guess it's because everyone is jumping on the forums.

    Further outages as we speak, I am getting a mix of 503's from the varnish cache and also network timeouts.

    I have been trying to reply to tell you I'm having the same issue. But every time I get halfway through typing this, I get a I get a wildly obtrusive and obnoxious "WE'RE OVER CAPACITY" banner covering my screen. If that wasn't enough, the only way to close said banner is by going to another page or refreshing.
    ESO and I are taking a break and seeing other people.

    Yeeeah. These forums are a mess. As is... evidently... this patch.

    Wow. Bad day at Zenimax.

    Think I'll go play Mahjong for awhile.
