Yep, I'll try to find the time to do something (don't know what yet...).

I can confirm this as well. It was fine for a while (a few weeks ago the forum refused to load at all, for a few days straight) and then yesterday I got a few timeouts as well.

    • The server that really shouldn't be running

This looks to me like an overloaded backend service/daemon. I recently reconfigured one of my websites and tuned the PHP settings of my daemon to match the expected load of the website. If you tell the daemon to spawn too little PHP processes/threads eventually it will drop requests if too many come in at the same time, which is what leads to those pages without CSS. If it was a network traffic issue you would either just wait a long time until the TCP retransmits get through or the server would just reset the connection which would produce some error message in your browser after a short time.

I don't know whether you already have a reverse proxy/web accelerator set up yet, but that might help with this problem.

Well I've experienced both scenarios a few times. The first one a bit less than the second one, but it's obvious that the server are somewhere overloaded...

Same here, I don't really know how much time though. I checked twice in three minutes and then half an hour later so I can't really say how much did it last.

Simple! If you're using pure webspace: upgrade or change the hoster. ;)
