I'm trying to track down the exact cause of the error but its hard to debug since its not always down !!
Basically there is a timeout somewhere in a Perl script.. or a ressource goes too high on the webserver. Trying to get the Apache error log as we speak.
Moving to the SQL e-blah wont fix the issue imo, i tried to run it while the server was down and it didnt work either (code is still Perl and i think we should move to a PHP based script).
Actually the real question is: how should be archive the old posts. There are several possibilities, i could make everything accessible from a browseable/searchable page and then we start fresh on the new script.. If you all wants to stay on e-Blah and keep everythign as it is, then we need to upgrade/fix the hosting server or move somewhere else. Its only a ressource issue imo...
EDIT: also you should all start to archive the pm's you want to keep somewhere, because that's going to be an issue as well if we move on.

More than once I've found that after doing a 'Search', it hangs, and then error 500. This is not the first time I've mentioned this. Don't believe me? Do a search!

I have offered a lower load server just as soon as I get out from under some other "business" I had the software all installed and was just trying to migrate the database as a test, but then had to put it aside for the moment. Sylvain is working on option.
The fact of the matter is, that despite how much we like MAACA as it is now, the E-blah forum is mostly "abandoned-ware" and we should be moving to a more "alive" implementation like PHPBBS (IMHO).
