Yeah, since the site seems to go down a lot more than other forums I frequent (even though there's more people on those) it seems as though something's not quite right for the current load. It's possible that the way the software's written, the DB calls are creating bottlenecks and other problems that crash/corrupt the database. Perhaps the locking scopes are too broad and causing more load than necessary? And/or there could be corrupted data since actions aren't all atomic? Just guessing so I could be completely off.
