Perhaps it's something on my end, but today AW forum pages have been loading rather slowly. Other websites seem to load fine. Will try rebooting my router in case that helps somehow.

I've had some other odd bugs on the site in the last 24 hrs. For instance, when I give reputation points to a post, I get the regular "may you be so fortunate" confirmation message, immediately followed by a "you cannot give a rep to the same poster twice" message. I wonder if my reps are going through. Also, I've posted a reply that got the normal confirmation and then a "you can't post again until there have been twenty seconds between posts" message. When I looked at the initial post, it had my whole message twice. I edited it to delete the double-tap.
Could these also be side-effects of attempts to deal with the bot attacks?
They are not side effects of the attempts to deal with bots.
That's mostly over at present; that may not last. It's a constant problem.
It's likely a brief connection issue, especially if you're using WiFi. If you get the message that you can't give a rep point to the same post twice, that means the rep point definitely went through; it's possible that the comment didn't, but not likely.
