Database errors = MySQL failure.
MySQL is just like a save file for a game.
Example: If you've played an NDS ROM, you'll notice that there's a .nds and a .sav file, right?
Try deleting the .sav file, and you have to start all over.

The same goes for PHP and MySQL.
PHP is like the .NDS file, and MySQL is like the .SAV file.
The difference is, MySQL requires a configuration file in PHP (hostname, username, password, and database name).
Try editing the file into a spelling error, and you'll get exactly the same errors as we are expecting the last few days.

This also tends to happen, if MySQL refuses to start, or work incorrectly.
And since it doesn't work, it can't connect to the database.

Also, if you see the site is totally down (default error pages from your browser), it's either that a webserver (Apache2, Nginx, Lighttpd, etc.) don't work, the server is turned off, or simply because the files don't exist.

So to sum it up a lot of errors?
 
No, to sum it up, malfunctioning.
 
Yes, it happened in the last few days, when ToxBox started this thread, and I'm sure it happened even earlier as well.

At least the site is very fast right now.
It's like I'm working right next to the server...oops!
 
That was yesterday, today, there was some overhead on the Forum's database.
