Database Error WTF!

So, you might have seen an error few minutes ago. I was doing a backup via cpanel and it turns out it will block the DB access for Vbulletin. I stopped the process and the forums are back. I will do the backup later when the usage is lower.

As more and more content is added our Database expands and it becomes risky using Vbulletin to backup the DB, so I am moving to a more stable method but it will result in some downtime.

However, that can be averted easily.

So, in short. Nothing to worry about.
