I think it's internet issues that keeps this server up.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too, b/c I had the "server won't load" page show up.twinArmageddons said:
Based on my scan the DNS went offline which caused a few errors in the scripting for the forum.

The Wiki and the forum weren't showing up at all so I have been bored for a while now.

Yeesh, I was just asking if it happened to anybody else. Didn't mean to sound self-centered.YamiHoshi.nl said:

No, it's more because there are now 3 threads about the same thing, plus everyone cares what happened, while not listening to the cause of it.
I'm not the management team of the server of this site (= Wiki + Forum, and 7 other's), but at least I am on a variety of servers, so I just know what's causing it.
Not that I could tell the exact cause, but at least I know what's down, what's going on with that, etc.

Database errors = MySQL failure.
MySQL is just like a save file for a game.
Example: If you've played an NDS ROM, you'll notice that there's a .nds and a .sav file, right?
Try deleting the .sav file, and you have to start all over.
The same goes for PHP and MySQL.
PHP is like the .NDS file, and MySQL is like the .SAV file.
The difference is, MySQL requires a configuration file in PHP (hostname, username, password, and database name).
Try editing the file into a spelling error, and you'll get exactly the same errors as we are expecting the last few days.
This also tends to happen, if MySQL refuses to start, or work incorrectly.
And since it doesn't work, it can't connect to the database.
Also, if you see the site is totally down (default error pages from your browser), it's either that a webserver (Apache2, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc.) don't work, the server is turned off, or simply because the files don't exist.
