Can't post or reply comments on busy orangeboards?

I don't know if that is a feature or a bug, but I cannot post or reply comments on busy orangeboards like mine, gmjhowe, Kiteman, and other orangeboards that has A LOT of comments.

I can still post on orangeboards with smaller number of comments.

So what is going on?? I hope it is just bug like the image note bug.

It happens in the dead of night (US) when they fiddle with the site / take it apart and Hoover-out all the dead bugs. It's not a bug because the picture is deliberately displayed. L
