Cloudflare Newark acting up?

I've been getting intermittent (but fairly frequent) Cloudflare errors accessing AndroidCentral. They started today, using the same browser and network connection I use every day. They appear randomly while I am surfing the forums.

I've redacted my specific IP but left the first couple of octets in case they help.

A refresh usually gets me where I want to go. Just posting this in case it helps track down a problem with Cloudflare.

I am running ScriptBlock, but androidcentral is whitelisted. Latest Chrome on Windows 10.

Error as follows:

Bad gateway

The web server reported a bad gateway error.

Seeing the same Cloudflare Network problems today. A refresh or two usually fixes it temporarily. No blocking.

Keeps throwing a bad gateway error. And mine says Cloudflare Hillsboro, not Newark. Looks like their entire platform has a headache.

Same here. Even at work, I have been getting this error frequently.

CloudFlare is at it again, site keeps timing out with "bad gateway", for me it's (again) Hillsboro, my closest CloudFlare datacenter. Their reliability has REALLY gone downhill lately.

Seems to be an every day occurrence now, if anyone at Mobile Nations cares? Today's outage brought to you by the letter T and the number 5.

Starting to get a bunch of these now as well:

No input file specified.

Yes, a few refreshes usually gets things rolling again, but, oh I dunno, maybe try to figure out which of the 42 friggin ad networks you have embedded everywhere, is causing your site to be so unreliable? If it's CloudFlare caching causing all this mayhem (likely), find someone else more reliable, or, oh I dunno, roll your own caching? You guys are tech experts, maybe act like it? Trying to be constructive but it doesn't seem like the folks in charge can even be bothered to respond. Like I said elsewhere, having your site down more than it's up, EVERY SINGLE DAY anymore, kinda says you don't want people to come around anymore.
