Something wrong with this website/server/whatever?

Thanks to this error new error I got today I would have had to rewrite 2 posts at least 3 times.. so I thought f it.
There's also that other error I complained about some time ago.

And I had to write this post three times.

I haven't had that problem, but i have seen the site load a a white screen with all the text and none of the images or other forum bits.

This is the other one.
EDIT: LoL how ironic. I got this same error when I clicked the attached screenshot.

And 520 just ate my first response (resending can and does work btw).

I blame CloudFlare.  It's the common link here  >D

Edit: And by resending, I mean the green retry button on the 520 page.  Allow resend and your post should go through (like this one since it was eaten twice).

Already a post about this, I think: Topic: Rackspace having some problems, so website is wonky right now. (http://www.arcengames.com/forums/index.php/topic,16068.msg177137)

Taken me 20 hours to find this post.

From rackspace:

We apologize for the inconvenience you may have been experiencing over the last couple days and would like to explain in further detail the issue and what we are doing to mitigate it.

Since August 5th, 2014 at approximately 4:29 PM CDT, a portion of our DFW Cloud Sites infrastructure has been experiencing a series of intermittent network interruptions as a result of a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) targeting a Cloud Sites customer with political content relating to the conflicts between Israel and Palestine.

This customer is no longer hosted with Rackspace. However, the DDoS initially targeted an IP and then grew to an IP block on Cloud Sites which has resulted in this ongoing malicious traffic.

Rackspace has a series of mitigation steps used to remediate these types of attacks however, customers behind the affected IP block may still continue to experience periods of network latency and packet loss. This network latency will result in customers experiencing intermittent site performance, site inaccessibility, timeouts, or slow load times.

Our engineers have the targeted IP addresses behind our mitigation systems and are customizing the rule sets to block malicious traffic while permitting legitimate traffic to pass. As mentioned above there are instances where some legitimate traffic may be inadvertently tagged as malicious and our engineers are actively working toward minimizing this impact.

Due to the nature of this issue, we are unable to provide a definitive time for complete resolution. We thank you for your continued patience and will continue to provide updates, as new information is available.

Now on computer this works just fine though I still can't connect to this forum with my phone.

Really?  I'm thinking that might be some sort of cache thing.

I'm seeing it fine on my iphone.

It still didn't work earlier today but it seems to be working now (I posted this with my phone).

That... is so odd!  Gotta love all the web services that go into making a website work these days, goodness.

The only thing here that confuses my phone (or tablet) is the new background. Half the time it just gives up and leaves me with a blank white backing.

I have not laughed this hard at anything in a really long time. I just kept bursting into uncontrollable fits of giggles through this whole thing.  Thanks for that.
