i have no idea. i wish we were informed about whats going on behind the scenes.

Well here's the technical goo:

Apache 2.0.52 wasn't behaving with PHP 4.3.10 - I went back to Apache 1.3.31/PHP 4.3.8 but things were a bit wonky oddly enough i.e. -> the site was running fine and then random table corruption happened on certain database tables. I didn't know what was going on.. whether it was Apache 2.x having thread safety issues and which MPM I used (worker vs pre-fork) - so I then recompiled with Zend Thread Safety on to see if that would alter things + seeing how that affected Turck MMCache 2.4.6 as a result.

I have things working now with Apache 2.0.52/PHP 4.3.10/MySql 4.1.8 - it took a little longer than expected because the sessions table was corrupt (and I didn't know) so weird things were happening - like - being able to browse the forums but once you logged in and tried to do anything it resulted in an error (due to bad sql query) because the userid variable was missing (since it couldn't read it from the sessions table) - but I didn't know this connection until I fixed it 5 mins ago

Even the vBulletin developers were miffed but have seen other such issues arise recently - see thread here

Regardless, all is fine now. :D

Time to drink up and be merry!

it didn't crash, if you would read what was written you wouldn't be so suprised. It was only some maintnence being done. And its not a record.
