Weirdly enough, liking a post is faster than submitting one. So it'll take several minutes for this post to actually submit.

Looks like it is back to norm, at least on my end, I reached forum and I can post again.

So has it been confirmed that it is fixed or was that a guess?

Looks like they fixed it..   Let see if the posting is fixed.  

 

Update:  It's bit slow, though.

Amazon's S3 Web Server went down for a bit.

Many sites (neowin included) have various content that is loaded through that server

Not just S3, EC2 instances wouldnt launch.
