Folks,
Only some people in different parts of the world are affected.
It appears that the majority of users are NOT experiencing this.
Important to note that it is not the number of users on the server per-se that is the problem. Today's max is about 2850 connections, and the server has handled over 50% more than this in the past.
It IS being investigated, but if the problem lies outside the PPRuNe servers - as seems very possible - and actually in the networks and ISPs connecting you all to the server, there is not a great deal that PPRuNe can do about it.
You will all (probably) be kept informed of events, given that the mods and admins involved are volunteers with full-time jobs to do!
