MySQL Server borkiness

So some of you may have noticed that, after a year of damn near flawless operation, there have been some new issues cropping up preventing you from accessing these forums. Something is screwing up the mysql (database) server which in turn can cause a lot of things to not be available.

I've just finished moving and still won't have interweb for another day at my home so I'm looking into things as I have time at work.

Thanks for your patience and my apologies for any inconvenience.

On a side note, despite my lack of love for phpbb I must say the theme for these forums is looking really snazzy!

Actually it's unavailable every time it goes down, which has been several times today alone. You just don't notice it unless you're actually trying to use the site.

Doesn't this site use an external SQL server? I could be mistaken but I thought likeafox hosted it.

My brother and I were cleaning the basement and had to temporarily move the routers.

I've noticed some errors recently that prevented me from accessing the site temporarily.

That's because you have not paid the toll.

Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't see the Phantom Tollbooth. Could I get off with a warning?

No. Guilty, guilty, guilty!

Would you like a long sentence, or a short one?

Well, this program has a word limit so give me a short one.

"I am" short enough?

It is the shortest complete sentence out there.

Actually, 'Go!' is also a sentence, and it's even shorter. :P
