4cr Database Problems

Alright, lets talk about 4cr for a minute. As Im sure youve all noticed, the site has been going down a lot lately. In fact, it seems like its down more than its working. I originally thought the problem was WordPress. Now, I dont think so. I also thought the problem was my database, but now I dont think so.

I think the real problem is that someone is crawling the site and killing it. Up until about 2 weeks ago, even with huge spikes in traffic I never had a problem with the load on my database. Now its happening almost daily.

The most recent outage was simply a weird problem with my server…they decided to change my database password. Thanks guys.

Anyway, if anyone knows anything about mySQL databases, php functions and/or WordPress and would be willing to help out, please let me know. I love this site and all my readers and I dont want to upset people, lose people or go insane because of this.
