The database issues affecting the forums since last night have been repaired by Robert 

All should work normally now.

what was the cause, and what is to prevent it from happening again?

The issue was caused by our MySQL server shutting down, which was actually caused by a quota error on the VPS node its on. When the node was eventually re-booted, all was good.

This has been happening once in while, and I was surprised its running on VPS. If i were you, I would move to Dedicated :)

I run many VPS/Ded servers so I speak from experience. Just sayin'

Was on a dedicated box for 10 years. Moving to a VPS saved some $$$ and we gained in performance.

That is interesting to know, yes Ded can be costy but it is nice about that you are only one on the machine. I run hosting business and I manage to run one VPS only with 512MB Ram on it and using WordPress, works like breeze, flying fast.

If you need help, I can help almost anything. Wish the best ...

Any connection to the issues ?
