Board downtime

It's not a bug, they've probably restarted mysqld (or whatever they're using) afew times. The user sessions are usually reset so all users are effectively logged out. A while ago when I looked, there was no one logged in. It also effects everyone, not just a few. No database = no forums. The post and user tables are stored in the database, the forums software is used to access, view and manipulate these. Both have to work or nothing works. I'm thinking that the server taking too many connections, but can't be sure. I hope they get it fixed.

The host is mailed. The database is bigger than ever and there are more users. This puts extra load on the hardware. It's worked on.

Perhaps the Org needs it's own huge server rather than sharing one with other sites. Would that be possible without paying?
