People have been having bot problems and to some I would imagine it looked like Linkspun.com was literally falling apart.
The reality of it is that LS isn't falling apart. It is just simple growing. The problem has actually plagued LS from the beginning. It is just that as LS has grown exponentially the problem has grown with it.
The problem: Most often the problem stems from DNS issues. When somebody is hosted by Amerinoc or one of its subsidiaries they get a DNS entry. When they leave they never ask for it to be removed. So to LS the site looks like it is on Amerinoc. To the rest of the world the site looks like it is hosted on its current alternate hosting provider's servers. Wasn't a big deal when there were only dozens of us... And not much more noticeable with a few hundreds of us. But now that there are 1000's of us it is happening every day.
The solution: Amerinoc has LS using a different DNS server. It fixed all of my errors. Try checking your own now and then get back to me with trade ID's.
Another problem is that sometimes hosting providers have errors between their network. These will still have to be handled individually as we have no way of programming our way out of those types of problems.
