I am glad I am not alone on this. This happens regularly from Australian end. Every day from 1pm eastern Australian time WP goes offline. Assuming that hit midnight NYC time. It happens every single day! Only works mornings in our time but never in afternoon nor evening.
I have a feeling it got to do with capacity. I have been member of WP since 2008 (under different username due to old email address). I seen it the changes on this site since, and appears now out of control. I have life offline more than being on the internet.
The problem we facing in current generation is young people lack participating with things in reality. They turn their heads to computer screen causing major impacts with technology, environment and society in general.
I am pretty sure it is universal based on my testing using a VPN when the error happened. I have tried a bunch of VPN locations so I'd conclude it isn't a location specific thing. If it were limited to a specific location, using a VPN location on another continent would have the site load from a server more local to there and it would be accessible.
I am also leaning towards it being capacity, DDOS is possible but in reality so expensive. Some people hate those with autism but is it worth tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars just to troll?
