Was wanting to return to Warmane after some time away but I can't even navigate the Forum anymore. Just hangs constantly now, did something happen and is there something I can do about this? This is extremely annoying..

Is something wrong with the Forum?

Only forum or website generally? The main difference seems to be the video in background at the top of each page. That could cause problems when opening multiple tabs of the site or forum. If that's the problem, you can use some ad block plugin to remove it (for example, uBlock Origin).

Yea, i have adblocking plugin so i don't even see what you're talking about. I was just watching an Outland livestream and players even mentioned it in the stream, with one guy saying "have you even tried to navigate the site lately?" so it isn't just me. Something is definitely wrong with the site, but the Forum in particular is especially unresponsive. Im talking a 30 second hang just to change pages of a thread.

In that case, it's because Openwow is down but forum pages still try to load files from it. Main site has changed those links to Warmane but on forum they are still loaded from Openwow. In most cases it does not result in any delay since Openwow domain currently does not have an IP linked to it so loading those files fails immediately and page loads without them. But I have seen some posts that say it takes 30 seconds. Not sure what causes it, could be a DNS issue. You can try to add cdn.openwow.com to your ad block if it allows you to do that. That should skip those requests and load page without waiting.
