For about 5 minutes, I kept getting a "could not connect to server" message when trying to get to this site. It wasn't my internet connection, I was able to browse other pages easily. It was only after refreshing it constantly, that it eventually loaded.

Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks to SBIzokronus for the fantastic sig!

I've had that happen a couple times since the site first went up. I imagine it was just server hiccups.

Yep. Whenever that happens, the whole server is unresponsive. Sometimes they have to reboot the server. The last time was six days ago (January 30).

You won't even feel the blade.

A couple of minutes ago, I tried to get to this site, it only displayed a lot of text strings talking about a MySQL error, I refreshed and I was presented with the company Stabguy hosts this site on, saying to contact the administrator.

That's weird. SQL errors usually don't fix themselves. The database server must have been temporarily offline (it's separate from the web server).
