Possibly you need to do some clean up.
I think you have server logs enabled. I would look for any indication of connection issues to the database.
I would start with that.and or clean them out if they are excessive..
If you know the folder they are saved in you can delete them faster than using the ubb to delete them one at a time.
But you may get some better performance by clearing cache and optimizing tables.
This can be done from the ubb control panel.

I tried to login to your site but my email has changed since the last time I visited.
Ruben,

I do have them enabled, but there's no Error Logs.
As far as Optimizing Tables is there a way to do them all at once or must it be one at a time? Should I close down for that?

I did enable Zlib and put Isaac's code in, but it doesn't seem better.

I've been blocking bad spiders since last night, they were all mostly Baiduspider and AhrefsBot at that time, now I see a lot of Google and some other Friendlies - that might be because I just got the latest UBB.Sitemaps operational with the SEO Friendly modifications.

If you could take the time to login over there and see firsthand I'd really appreciate it.
Send me a pm with a current email address I'll put it under your username at ECN and send you the password.

** BTW, it took me logging in over 10 times to get to write this Post. After Logging in I'd go to this thread and find out I wasn't logged in anymore... ??
