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.
