This is sort of a pasted reply from our site.
I just did a quick double check.
From what I see, there is an error in the database (typical SQL stuff when a site goes down unexpectedly). It's either that, or mySQL is not configured correctly.
If you have access to phpMyAdmin through your control panel, click the name of the forum database. When you are presented with a list of tables (such as IBF_members, IBF_posts, etc) check all tables, and choose "repair tables" from the drop down menu located under the table listing.
do not choose drop tables
This should repair the tables and fix the problem.

I've had exactly the same sort of problems with databases over the years, most recently at TheHelper's site and RPG Stars. I'm about 95% certain that a repair by these means will resolve the problem.
