Basically what happened is that we changed our wordpress theme, and it turns out that the new one puts a bit more pressure on our server than the old one. We used to be able to handle a top spot on hacker news, but this time our server died on us.

We decided to switch to cloudflare to mitigate some of the load. This requires changing DNS settings, and it seems that for some people, there's been a gap when they haven't been able to access the page. This is of course a little unfortunate. However, it does mean that other people can actually access the page rather than just getting stuck loading.

It's all a bit hectic here at the moment. It's possible there's some other problems that I haven't yet fully discovered.
