Wow, after all the wild speculation on what was going on with the server, here's what actually happened:
The hard drive on the server has a rather unfortunate partition layout and the /var directory is rather small and was simply filled up, so mysql freaked out and quit.... that's all, and it's all fixed now.
A new server will to be swapped in rather soon, and we'll make sure that it doesn't have the same stupid partitioning on it, and we will be going to a new website at the same time.

I have tried to visit the website last night as well as this morning but
there seems to be a database problem. It is saying 'mysql: too many
connections' but I tried accessing the website early this morning - I
doubt it was getting bombarded by millions of plug members. :)
Any eta?
Thanks,
