I noticed that between ± 7:00 PM ET and ± 7:20 PM ET, the server had issues. I've received bad / invalid certificate (update needed?) and DDOS-filter warnings. It was indeed a DDOS attack, the problem would probably be somewhere in Russia, not serverside.

I saw the SSL error too and the certificate is good through January 1, so....that was interesting....
@Bobby - Admin handles all technical aspects of this site and I don't have any insight into what he gets or sees, but having database experience in my career, unused accounts in a table wouldn't cause site slowness. That'd be like blaming interstate traffic on cars parked in a lot somewhere off one of the exits. If accounts were logged in and everyone was adding 100K to their wantlists at the same time, that would seriously slow things down. Slow database queries and commands can do it too. Or someone trying to hack the site...

@BigEd76, thanks for answering. I trade a alot and I've seen hundreds of accounts that are dead, some 7-8 years. You probably surmised that Im not a techie, barely make my way around here, but I thought if all the dead accounts have a large collection it would tie up a lot of space. Thanks.

At least twice today upon returning to my computer i was greeted by "i am a winner" google phishing type contest in place of the TCDB page i was originally on.
It seemed like hackers took over, and when i X'd(closed) it, my tcdb page was gone so i know it originated from here.

I'm not a DBA but I would guess that performance issues are mostly due to servers that can't handle as many threads as there are users. Also possibly queries/indexes/schemas that need to be optimized, etc.
I'm sure admin knows *way* more about this stuff than I do.

I'm not sure that's server-side. I'd run a virus scan. I was on all day and didn't see anything like that.

Currently having issues with the site's security certificate. It's being worked on.
