Database crashed...
The MySQL databased crashed on us yesterday at around 5 pm. I wasn't able to fix it remotely — couldn't get into the blasted thing. The box spent the evening in my office, while I chased down bad indexes, deleted all the spam from the comments table, and generally fiddled it a half dozen other ways. I put a filter in that'll hopefully keep the spammers out, at least for awhile, and I cleaned up a little bit of SQL on the main page. It now runs lightnin' fast as a stand-alone, but I've no idea what it's going to be like when I put it under load tomorrow. I'm hoping it'll perform the same.

My apologies to all.
