I receive this above error very frequently - it happens several times a minute and I have to refresh repeatedly for it to eventually appear. The strange thing is, only forums seem to be affected by it. The only forums I do not get the error on are on Something Awful. OcUK, Beyond3d, NeoGAF, etc all get it, be it vbulletin or phpbb.

Other sites that aren't forums such as BBC news, Eurogamer, Facebook, Grooveshark and HSBC are completely fine and load instantly without any error.

What could be causing the issue?
 
I'm getting this quite a lot too (although these are the only forums I frequent).

In fact, I literally just had this happen!

What ISP are you with? I'm with Be.
 
I only seem to get it on this forum. A simple refresh usually sorts it out but not always. It seems to be worse when using Chrome as opposed to IEalthough it still occurs sometimes with IE as well. I'm with Plusnet

I'm exactly the same as you, it seems to be happening mostly on Chrome with IE or Firefox not as much, I'm also a Plusnet user, but my problem extends towards a bunch of other different types of websites.

It took me a few refreshes just to type out this damn reply. I mean what the hell is going on? This has been going on for about a week now.
 
I get it sometimes too.

I also see a connection to the main OCuk site. When the forum is unresponsive so too is the main site, and both will time out before they are browsable again.
