Hi,
I've been running my forum for at least a year now. It was all working fine until today.
Now forum loading takes very long time and it gives me "Couldn't connect to database" once it loads.

Admin panel works fine, I'm using this database for outside connections (game server) and people can still use their account details to log in on my game server just fine.
I did recount / rebuild everything.

Link to the forum: https://forum.district-rp.pl
This forum is vunerable due to DDoS attacks right now, just because out competition can't keep up.  Cool Anyway, may that be the reason forum is inaccessible? If not, how can I solve this problem, and where does it come from? I went to sleep, woke up and bam! Forum's out.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks & Peace!
I think it might be because of your hosting not able to handle the traffic. What are your server specs and traffic stats ?
Also try using a CDN for hosting images, it will reduce some load. And you can also try cloudfare free version.
Your forum loads fine for me. What is the exact error shown?
