Here is what they just told me, so hopefully this will be fixed in a few days:
" We ran the analysis- and to make a long story short-there's an issue with all the pictures being uploaded and the way users are doing so---they are going to save all pictures recently being uploaded for a contest we are running separately and outside the website through another server— The pictures will not be available for a few days— we will need to run some additional test on the website without the Pics to see if the issue is resolved— we are shooting to be back up by Friday—"

Will that just fix the picture issue or the EXTREME slowness issue also?

It has been extremely slow for me also. Often not loading the pages at all. Practically unusable.

Kent, what they are saying is that the pictures are what is causing the site to run so slow.
It would seem to me that loading pictures is a process that would Follow simply getting logged into the site or having your credentials authenticated. Took 1.5 min for loggin credentials to be authenticated. 2 min to simply access the site for the initial connection, slow is way to fast a term to describe the performance at 2:00am.. Wish them Luck

Fixed for me. It's like having an old friend move back into town. Never realized how much time I spend here until it was down. (Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing).
