It's probably not your Google bar or anything that a reboot could cure. Looks like Renderosity is getting slammed by script kiddies (kissin' cousins to our friends the warez kiddies.) People who use scripted auto-downloaders or site harvesters can create many hundreds of simultaneous connections (that each take up the space of an individual user) and max out a site's capacity. That's what's been happening here (that's why if you look at the "number of people online" in the upper right-hand corner, it will veer around wildly during these sql errors. Like, from 700+ people online to 1300+ within a few seconds.) Not an easy thing to combat. -nemo
