i have no problems in forums that consistently have more users online ..........
I haven't had any 504 errors or lag and I'm using an old crappy mini netbook and a Sprint 3G USB Modem.
I did have similar issues on a different forum last week that runs the same forum software. The problem was a DNS attack on their web servers.

but perhaps those forum don't have as many filters as this one
I was amused by the WebTV reference..... they followed Apple ll's, didn't they? Not nearly enuff processing power or ram to load this forum.
maybe is the way I use my putermy DTG
You gotta hold your mouth right and close one eye when you click ... and, tap your heels together three times.
The computer I'm currently on has 2 2.4Ghz Quad-Core processors and 12GB of RAM. I am sitting on a fatter pipe than the majority of the folks on this forum have access to (I'm at work right now). I shouldn't get lag and gateway errors. Granted, I don't get gateway timeouts quite as often as some folks, but I do get a lot of lag and the occasional gateway timeout.
It comes and goes for me. Sometimes, all is well. Then I'll have periods where I get a ton of lag and a the timeouts start. This seems to be when a lot of the forums I'm on are very active so it could well be high use times in general for ECF.

Whether it's a gateway issue, an ISP issue, or a last mile issue, it's still like watering the grass while someone around the corner is pinching the hose. The best nozzle in the world will just sputter and spit.
I have been experiencing this as well - completely random and "fixes" itself after a short period of time. I was about to call my internet provider since I pay for a 40 Mbps connection on a thinkpad. Glad I am not alone.
I am going to 
this stinks. Can't do a thing! One of my favorite venders here is going to lose a sale cause I can't navigate ECF and be at his thread for the rarely release most awesomeness Drip tips around. This lag bites!

I'm not trying to pick on you whiskey but what you are asking brings up something that many overlook...
When there is a technical problem that needs resolved... the answer is also going to be technical and there really isn't a way around it... so in the end, the answer they find they need to resolve the issue will probably be way past "computer 101" class level...
Luckily as users... really we don't need to know the answer, just that they can or will resolve it. Let them deal with the technicalities which are their responsibility to know and understand... not ours.
Of course, these types of things are seldom straight forward which is likely why it has taken ( is taking ? ) them this long to try and find the underlying cause ( if they don't know it already )
Actually while I don't know about this particular incident... I do know what they are refering to and part of it does require clearing the cookie as you mentioned...
When a website or forum is moved from one server ( or group of servers ) to another... your computer on the other end has "remembered" the old address of where the server ( servers ) were located at... clearing the cookie is part of telling your computer the new info on where the new location is.
So this wasn't a "defense"... it was them addressing the problem in the only way it could be addressed. In fact, the cookie was only part of it... there is also other technical issues that needed updated that your computer and even your internet provider's computers needed to have updated... if you want to know more... look up "dns cache" and "ip tables" but be aware that is some higher than "computer 101" type of info
Not one moderator, administrator or "code monkey" has replied... not even to say "we're looking into it".
dns flushed.... still laggy with 504's
It's not my end I tell you.~Someone graduated higher than "computer 101"~
this forum is so slow for me that I hardly ever bother with trying to post anymore. heck just trying to navigate around in here and read usually just ends up in aggravation.
