Any chance we could switch the related posts module back on?

The server isn't going to be housed in this building is it?

In Phpmyadmin, all the tables show MYISAM. One of the IT guys installed Percona mysql.

You could disable innodb by adding these two lines to my.cnf
innodb=OFF
default-storage-engine=MyISAM
and restarting mysqld. It would cause mysql to use less memory, since it would skip creating the buffer pool for indexes.

So that table stores failed login attempts for cpanel, which eventually locks someone from attempting to login again. If it's crashed, you can repair it, but from what I've seen in these threads, looks a few tables have had this issue. This often comes from free space issues on the drive. You said you had a problem with free space involving the backups, correct? That could have crashed a few tables.

I'm just going to try to hold the fort until the move. The new server will be stock, instead of this jerry-rigged system I seem to have in place now.

^^ It's been prompted by the growing size of the forum and also a disastrous server upgrade that installed mysql software (percona) that keeps crashing. By moving to a dedicated server, we'll be hitting two birds with one stone. The forum will be faster and more features can be added.

Just a brief update that the forum will be moved starting tomorrow morning.
I don't think this will be a fast move, so the forum may be read-only or down for you probably until Sunday. Hopefully it will be faster, but be prepared for an entire weekend of limited functionality.
Once the move is complete, it will take an extra week to fine-tune the new server settings, so I will start a new thread for you to share any errors you see.
After that, the forum will be sitting on a server that is about 5 times stronger that what we got now.

Where is the new server located geographically? I suggest the American Northeast or Western Europe, that would give good latency (quick responses) to more of your users.
ryanf, I see your point about MyISAM using less RAM, but isn't MyISAM less robust than InnoDB? If the new server has plenty of memory, I suggest staying with InnoDB.
