Of all the things to cause issues... It was a hidden / blank space at the end of one single line of code called a carriage return that you couldn't see. Ridiculously frustrating tracking down something that I couldn't see even when I was looking at it.
I didn't know there was an issue until I saw the post from Mythos on FB, he was like I don't live in EU so why can't I get in....
This was an odd situation because there were still people posting, Google was still hitting the site it just looked really slow... I have been working on all kinds of code and changes over the past week so it's just odd that I could still get in and many others could too...
Gonna chock this one up as "NOT SURE HOW IT HAPPENED", apologize and move on.
