Default Site slow?

Is anyone else having intermittent problems with the site being really slow to load or sometimes completely inaccessible? It has been this way for a couple days for me but all the other sites I visit are still fine so it's not my connection.

I am having the same problem. Most of the time when this happens, Jarred is working on his server.

It is completely inaccessible to me, but I am on a weird site that is allowing me on.

Same here. I'd assumed it was the internets, which get kind of cloggy down here, but it makes better sense if Jarred was updating.

Sorry guys, the datacenter has had some problems.
I'm seeing what can be done to make it better and avoid this in the future.
I hate it when that happens!

Thanks alot everyone! I really appreciate the kind words. It means a lot to me.
I have other servers that had even worse trouble this week than the server Bananas.org is on! The datacenter (EV1, in Houston) had an explosion and 6,000 servers were affected - some were offline for days!
If that ever happens to this site, don't worry, it will be back! lol
Hope everyone is enjoying their growing season! Make the most of it!

The site has been very slow or difficult to load for me again over the past couple of days. How about for others?
