Blitz pages choppy and slow

[Herr Straße Laufer]

Hey guys, did someone hit the funky button?
I get to The Blitz from my "most visited". When the home page shows up it is slow and the "wheel" (of tapping your feet) waiting for the page to load spins. Then things come up that are choppy. The message blocks on each side of the page is blank. Sometimes the "forums" load with just the top title page.

Is it that someone is working on the site? Did something change that would cause this?
I do not get it when I go to any other web pages.
Or, is it my machine?
