@Tcoat do you have admin rights on the forum?

No.
I offered to Moderate once several years ago but never even received even the curtesy of a response.
Now it is just a daily hobby to see how many bots/spammer/scammers sign up each morning and try and guess when they will reveal themselves.

Not really surprising. Seems most of the admin are content keeping whatever money comes from the ads and not taking the time to make sure the site is stable.

I can't count how many times the past 6ish months the site refuses to work/loses comments I post; it's worse than when it used to just go offline for a couple hours early in the morning.

I have had no site operating issues ever. The standard 2am and 9am shutdowns last about 5 minutes but that has been since day one.

My cat has learned how to close doors, but doesn't understand that once the door latches she can't open it again. If I'm busy with work or out of the house, she can remain locked in a bathroom for I don't know how long. I feel bad after this happens and pet her as soon as I open the door to let her out, but still haven't gotten used to keeping the doors closed.

I have inadvertently taught my cat to lock herself in the bathroom for attention.

On multiple computers and my phone, different browsers, I get the server failure page probably two or more times a day. Sometimes I'll be on the forum and trying to submit a reply and then I get it.

My guess is the server can't handle the load at times properly so it drops some connections.

I get issues going to a new page once in a while. Just need to wait 10 seconds and refresh.

OS, browser flavor, anything client side doesn't matter. Server chokes on the gets. Forum is being served from an ARM device over DSL.

Ok, not really, but...
