since reforged the site has been feeling slower / less responsive. is that because of servers or just more people being on here?

There is a limit of 30 days on my metrics, but we have gone from 35.77k unique visitors a month ago to 108.56k, or from 443.3k requests to 1.42m requests (these are daily metrics).
So yes, the amount of visitors has gone up drastically and it is one of the reasons for the server move - the new server is orders of magnitudes faster. I'm testing behind the scenes and hope to finish it today.
By the way, the reason why the migration failed last time: it didn't fail, but the new security system was a bit too eager and banned me while debugging the issues. That caused a whole lot of other issues which led me to roll-back to our previous server. Ofcourse it only took a few more minutes after before I realized what was really happening. I spent a lot of time confirming the issue and fixing another issue.
The new security system is also VERY thorough and completely banned me on all fields, so it looked like the server had crashed. Ah, the joys of being a system administrator.
Can we then assume it's name was HAL and it was afraid you can't do that...

The database settings have been tuned (Legacy can now use 24 GB of RAM, just for the database alone... the cache used to be 256MB large before) and Legacy is flying like it never has for me... hopefully it's reacting a lot faster for you now, too!
If not, feel free to let me know and I'll make sure to check it out.

clicking through the site is fast again, but reacting to a post or creating a post is still slow with a few seconds of the circle animation for me

There are a few reasons for that, mainly due to the forum software itself. Extra checks for spam, some processing and storing the data... should not take seconds though... goes almost instant for me.

Oddly, adding a reaction takes a couple seconds for me, but undoing one is essentially instant.

edit: posting this took seconds again though
edit2: editing was instant somehow
