Please bear with us as the current excitement, no doubt, won't last too long.

I suspect that's what the OP's DH said just before he dunked his penis Grin

Huge apologies for the slowness tonight/this pm. It is down to huge influx of traffic to this thread which appears to have "gone viral" and consequently our servers are struggling. We do have a plan in place, to increase capacity and in the very short term we are doing everything we can to help boost capacity but it is a pain I know, and we're really sorry for that. Please bear with us as the current excitement, no doubt, won't last too long.

Still so slow. C'mon, get it sorted. Please x

chickydoo · 09/10/2013 18:23

Can't connect on my ipad at all???
Is something wrong with the APP?

DoItTooJulia · 09/10/2013 18:20

Yeah. It's bloody annoying. I'm signing off for the night, it's so crap!

WorraLiberty · 09/10/2013 18:20

It's been ridiculous for the last few hours.

FruOla · 09/10/2013 17:47

Oh FFS, I tried to post about 10 minutes ago.

I was trying to say that, in addition to the the usual slowness, today is jeffing awful - I guess due to the penis dunking thread.

Whether this post actually makes it onto this thread, I have no idea.

I'm going now.

MNHQ, you will be responsible if I start ordering expensive stuff online - OKAY?

I may have to do Real Life for a while instead Shock [wibble]

Methe · 09/10/2013 16:17

It's been terrible for me for weeks :( every other reload promps a 'mumsnet is offline' type message.

ouryve · 09/10/2013 16:08

I think the penis dunking thread might have overwhelmed the hamsters that power the servers.

mummylin2495 · 09/10/2013 15:53

Just came on to post the same thing, glad it's not my iPad going wrong !!!

SinisterSal · 09/10/2013 15:09

There's no end to the trouble penises in beakers cause.

JugglingFromHereToThere · 09/10/2013 15:08

Yeh, even I might give up just for this afternoon Grin

TEErickOrTEEreat · 09/10/2013 15:06

It has indeed, Vivi.

ViviPru · 09/10/2013 15:04

I wondered why on earth MN was getting mentions in social spheres of mine far removed from these shores. I didn't realise Penis Beaker had gone viral....

bigwellylittlewelly · 09/10/2013 15:01

The words 'penis', 'downtime' and 'go slow' could doubtless become a witty thread in its own right

bigwellylittlewelly · 09/10/2013 14:59

I can't even post or load pages
