Sorry for the downtime

I have no idea what was going on. I was getting ready to go to bed and found the site and server totally unresponsive. This is the 2nd time in about a week that this has happened. By the looks of it, either DB Cache Reloaded was murdering MySQL, I need to really optimize the tables, or it’s time to get some more RAM. I know two of those are correct however, I’m not 100% sure which ones. I’m going to talk to LSTN tomorrow about the costs of migrating to a new server instead of adding more RAM to this one. They’ve got some new boxes up that are faster and will come in cheaper per month than simply adding more RAM — saving $5/mo is still saving.

Anyway, everything’s back up now. Some of my stats are screwed up but no big deal. Also updated to PHP5.
