I would say forget about all problems up until today. There have been a few different problems, and the intersection of those problems caused a major blow up as the holiday weekend started. So up until yesterday sometime, we were very unstable. The main issue turned out to be what is likely a broken bot out of Hong Kong using up resources. Once that was blocked, I haven't had a single issue. Over the last couple weeks, I could keep the unknown issue at bay by logging in and cleaning up resources 3 times a day or so. After clearing, the problem would slowly build up, so it would be much worse at night when I was sleeping.
As a rule, even when the board is fast, anytime I write a post it's a habit to highlight all the text, right-click copy, and then submit just in case I get logged out. During unstable times, you'll get logged out more often as that is part of the resource cleanup. But even in good times, it's always a risk because unlike playing a video game, the board has no idea you're there unless you're pushing buttons. Typing into the screen doesn't count.
This. stupid. board.

Social distancing has likely already begun to flatten the curve...Continue to research good antivirals and vaccine candidates. Make everyone wear masks. -- J.D. Vance

The chat sometimes randomly logs out. Sometimes the Telestial forum vanishes. The home page seems to make Google think it is French and needs translating.
