So boredom-induced.com went down, and I don't have a fucking clue as to why. Here's the msg received:
QUOTE

p.post_date < 1163687440 AND p.post_date >
1163643343 AND p.topic_id=t.tid
SQL error: Can't open file: 'bi_posts.MYI' (errno: 145)

looking for a missing file...maybe a dropped table.
Look to see if this table still exists: bi_posts
16 November 2006, 19:18 UTC#4
Unlikely to be a dropped table unless the database was recently imported and failed to fully import.
The error message is vague, that being "Can't open file: 'bi_posts.MYI'"
I'd try repairing the database from PHPMyAdmin it is most likely corrupt.

well I can't do shit right now anyways, I'm stuck at work. If I can't get it fixed by some time tonight, im just gunna restore them to the last back up. Sucks, cuz that was about 11 days ago

we tried to replace everything with some backups that I had, and the error remained. We are at a complete loss. My only other thought is that maybe the sql thing on our hosting crapped out and it will fix itself eventually, but I have no idea what I am talking about so I could be way off.
