Pogo Forum Not Loading

The Pogo forums are beyond hope and I've answered at least one survey about them going away at some point.  If the EA forums had a better organization theme, ability of users to create polls and such, well then I say let's cut the cord and leave the old fora behind.  They rarely load for me, those Pogo threads, and I check to see who's online but never see a mass of users connected - so it's not a case of having insufficient capacity for high demand.  That whole site is built on cheap, error-prone software and really should be replaced with a modern version of forum management software, like Discourse.
