Whats the go with photobucket???

Every fortnight or so photobucket slows down to a grinding halt and i cant even open the page. At the same time, any forum pages with photobucket links take forever to open or simply dont open at all. Is it just on my end or does photobucket fail often? Its damn frustrating that i cant get onto photobucket and its plain wrong that if its having issues, it stops this forum from running properly.

Can anything be done? can we all get together and tell photobucket to pull its socks up??
