Why is the site going down?

Is this relate though? It seems that the pattern for YY going down is every single public holiday currently. With random days thrown in for good measure.

Hmm, not sure I buy the phpBB DOS angle - the error we see is consistently a SQL connection error, indicating that the database engine is not responding.

I think we’re past time where there should be more of us taking a direct hand in supporting the site. There’s no lack of offers of expertise or money to keep this place in good health.

Yeah, totally super effort! It easy to forget the powers that be when things are working.
