@ethermine_rocks well its always easy to say yours is better .... but why is it better? And why would people use Dwarfpool (its the biggest pool by far) if its that bad?
I recommend all the miners to spread the hash , Dwarfpool has a big hash and not just Dwarfpool there are some others and sometime thei have to much load on the pool or maybe someone is a bad guy and hit the pool with a ddos right now i see Dwarf is on maintenance mode "Due to technical maintenance the website will be offline for a short period of time. All your shares are calculated, all pool servers work"
@kruisdraad Dwarfpool doesn't pay out all the components of the block awards, like uncle incentives, while just about every other pool does. As to why people use dwarfpool: they don't know any better - it's the biggest, so they assume it's better. It's the biggest, because it was there at the start of Ethereum and had a good infrastructure early on. It took a bit for other pools to catch up, but by that time "the biggest" attracted new miners much more often than not.

This happens very often but has nothing to do with ddos. It is a typical technical maintenance for security reasons. Can you imagine how many millions $ are been mined on dwarfpool? There are places that simple ddos attack isn't working

the biggest pool doesn't mean the best. You should pay attention to the fees, the system of rewards. Small pools usually have many bonuses and offers.

Any idea? What happened to stale shares?

Recently there was another big issue with Expanse, since dwarfpool was not able to adopt the reward from 8 to 4 Expanse with the hard fork.
