I get the site slowness thing all the time, obviously, but in the past month I haven't seen a single SQL error. For me, it always manages to connect eventually, unless I just give up first. But, I agree; in spite of the few complaints I've made, I rate this site highly and think that the people running it do a great job for the most part. In The Spotlight, Tim alluded to the possibility of going BBphp. Personally, I'd rather regularly have to wait, if that's the best that Bondware can do, rather than see this place become just another-in-a-million bulletin boards.
