Reset Era was slow too. So has other sites. Glad to know it isn't me.
I haven't received any calls at work about it...

Discord is generally down worldwide. Nothing else is down for us here in Japan, but Discord is dead.
There was a lot that was down.
Resetera, Somethingawful, even NeoGAF while down was giants like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter were still up.
Whatever it was seems to have only affected smaller sites, and Discord is currently still down

It's Cloudflare. So many websites were down. Some seem to be back now though so it may be resolved soon.
I was having issues with Era earlier and wasn't sure if it was the site or the shitty hotel wifi I'm on.
Do games like Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes also use Cloudfare? I suddenly can't access that game and Cloudfare being down would explain it.
it basically means computer tells other computer where to send my request to and that other computer goes ??????? due to various reasons
Basically, the internet is a very complicated roadmap with all the various businesses and entities sharing the "route" on how to reach them. Sometimes when someone is sharing routes through BGP, it interferes with the correct path and points everyone on that provider the wrong way.
Gimme back my Discord! Where am I supposed to bitch and rant about Discord being down if Discord is down.
Last time one happened with Cloudflare 5 years ago https://blog.cloudflare.com/route-leak-incident-on-october-2-2014/
A lot more sites rely on it now than did 5 years ago, so more get affected this time. Big downside of everything being owned by just a few things (downside that you'll start to see more of, too) is how much of it gets affected/goes down/is at least temporarily unusable from something happening to just one service. I only go to 3 forums regularly; only one of those wasn't down at least some of the morning for me, and even Discord is still down
I guess that must be why I was aging issues this morning? Everything was fine here in SC for me on Spectrum last night before work, and then I got home from work a few hours ago and couldn't access a ton of websites. I wound up trying a bunch of stuff, rebooted my modem and router a ton of times, and finally changed the DNS to Google. After that last one though, Resetera and a lot of other sites immediately began working for me. I thought that was the fix but I guess it was more likely a coincidence. Might try going back to the ISP's dns server.
EDIT: Switched back to the default DNS for my ISP and everything still works so I guess I wasn't having a different issue than this and it was in fact a coincidence that I was able to get to era after moving to google's DNS. Using 8.8.8.8 doesn't seem to make anything any faster for me or anything, so I'll stay on whatever the ISP is using.

Looks like this explains why Alexa wouldn't play any music for me this morning when I woke up and eventually showed me the yellow ring of doom. Seems to all be working again now.
It was a massive route leak
Cloudfare, Google, etc were impacted

Woke up and noticed my internet wasn't working on my desktop. I couldn't load anything and when I tried to load Era on my phone it timed out too......so I assumed my internet was down. I had forgot I had set Cloudflare DNS on my desktop and of course Era runs off of Cloudflare...
At least I don't have to call Verizon when I get home later today.

Here is a map of the Cloudfare impact:
Also, looks like the culprit was found:

My head canon is all of the people posting in that thread are just posting random things to sound like they know what they're talking about, but they don't know that's also what everyone else is doing.

So do they just randomly change routes based on.....?????
Is it a dynamic thing...because it seems like if everything is going smoothly, why change anything that could cause a problem?
