From late Saturday and nearly all of Sunday i had this strange blank page appear for the forum's website.  There was a number in the center of the screen, 102503, and just below that was a spinning set of balls, called 'fa-spinner' in the code of the page.  This all seemed to originate from a website, maxcdn. 

Is this all normal and expected, or some maintenance issue, or some hacking attempt?  Anyone else experience this?

Didn't see any of that but early this morning AU time (about 16 hours ago) the forum was not loading. Just had a blank page

I think that code is a service unavailable code of some sort...??
A quick Google shows maxcdn is a network provider.
Cheers

I had fail to loads and also got the endless spinny thing with a number.

My guess would be a hacking attempt or DNS issue - with the prior seeming much more likely.
