Forum Corrupt database - caused host to suspend account.
 

I've been working with Vbulletin since 2.0, and I've never seen this... 3 weeks ago I moved a site off of my VPS at ProHosters.com to a shared account at HostClear.com since the VPS was way too big for a forum of 500 active users and cost to much.

Anyway, things have been running great. But today it seemed like the server I was on kept crashing, then I just received this email:

Hi Matthew,

We've found that your database pgh_pghoffroadvb causes an overload of our server, mysqlcheck reported that the database is corrupted but our repairing attempt failed, so we had to suspend your database

Thank you.

WTF! I'm trying to get them to remount the databse so that I can use the table repair in the control panel of vbulletin, but haven't heard back yet.

If I don't I might mount it as a new database and restore from this mornings backup, then try...

I hate it when unexpected things like this happen, I do forums on the side, and for free, and my real job is already killing m e today! [/vent]
