As the site grew, so did the number of users. As you get more users, more people send the admins piles of questions/comments/whatever, many of which are already answered in the FAQ but people can't be bothered to read. Hence things get slower. Admins get annoyed and answer less often, find other things to do instead of getting more annoyed.
As you know the site just went into a server upgrade (or wouldn't if you don't read the announcements). When major changes occur, problems pop up. Have patience.
