Why did the site go down?

[cheat-master30]

As in, a few minutes ago it said there was a database error here. I know, it got fixed when I decided to browse vBulletin.com instead, but why do so many of these errors keep occurring recently?

Jelsoft were performing a mysql upgrade this afternoon, after it was completed one of the tables needed a repair before we were fully functional again.

The sites been incredibly unstable recently.

Indeed, we have had a few mysql problems recently, but as previously mentioned, we run on Jelsofts servers so we are in their hands - the support staff at Jelsoft are aware of the issues. :)

Is it all the planet's server problems?

I've always thought that The Planet's servers were really reliable :p. But I guess not, or maybe it's the sheer number of visitors?

I have a feeling, someone is among us and want us down.
I say we find that person and show him no mercy not to mess with vBulletin Customers :)
