In case you were unaware, this forum exists as entries in a database (most likely a MySQL db). If something happens to that DB, like, say, an alteration in table names, etc. phpBB will not be able to access the stuff it is supposed to.

I know that.
The question is, why he's acting up...

The reason is that this board gets a lot of traffic, and as more people access the board, the more connections to the MySQL server are created, until the database gets so overloaded that it dies.

I've been toying with a few techniques to eliminate these problems.

Well I just upgraded MySQL let hope a lot of the problems are fixed by this upgrade.

There seems to be a rule, that *EVERY* forum has to break down a least one in its life.

You didn't read all of the EULA, did you? :-)

EULA = End User Liscence Agreement

happens to another forum i visit on a regular basis... of course, the guys who run the site haven't a clue about mysql or php code, so they can't fix it

You havent been here long have you?

This forum has already broke down a few time, and moved servers a few times too. Also hops on & off Mike Wong's personal server when Lord MJ's server starts seriously crapping up.
