This is a cry for help. I am a regular lurker here and have been for years. Suddenly, as of last Thursday, dailykos.com and any linked pages won't load most of the time.
My browser (Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Linux) usually stalls early in the page load, displaying something like "waiting for banners.blogads.com".
There is something very wrong in Kos website-land. My internet connection and DNS are fine and work for all other websites.
How many others are having trouble? Please let us know in the comments.
