Yea this is getting to the level of being unusable. I m seriously considering joining another site to get my daily discussions cause the thing is, we can still view the numbers but we would now have a stable site.

I'd like to know what is causing the issue tho. Is it really poor coding? Cause the years I have been here, this type of nonsense only happened during e3. Please fix it...

Gamewise is causing the issue. VGC imports some data from Gamewise, but Gamewise has been down rather frequently lately, so VGC pages don't load because the server is dealing with too many requested pages that contain Gamewise packages. I guess if everyone on VGC would only browse the forums, we'd have a lot less problems, but I don't really know how and where VGC and Gamewise are intertwined. I suspect that it's first and foremost concerning the game database.

VGC going down during E3 is simply a matter of an overloaded server that can't handle the increase in traffic. We've experienced something similar in the week after the Switch presentation when VGC became frequently unavailable during its peak times, namely the timeframe when the majority of Europeans and Americans are online at the same time.

It's the forums that are down for me most of the time though. Though the main page used to be the main culprit, lately (that is, as recent as yesterday) the main page will be slow, articles will be fine and the forums basically unusable.

Not sure what's going on there, but I'd be happy if the site was actually responding.
