Actually the forum did bomb out a few times with 'too many connection' warnings from vBulletin. These usually happen if there is a really high load on the server.
I can understand it on a site like this, but for VM's site to get 503 errors isnt acceptable. They could easily host the site in a cloud failover distribution, the costs would be negligible for VM to do so.

Sounds a bit like mine. Woke up this morning with a new IP, service fine for most of the morning however was noticably slower this afternoon, with regular drops and server not found notices. Did a bunch of worldwide ping and speed tests and didnt find any problems. Shortly after this most sites failed to load. I thought it may be OpenDNS at first as I've got out network set to use them, however obviously it wasnt.
VOD wasnt affected in any way however.
