A REAL explanation is this:

This site not only uses simple HTML web code, but also databasing. This databasing stores all the information for AA.COM: The files (some), the avatars, and all of our posts. Everything.

This type of database is called a MySQL database, extension .SQL. This database is called on everytime you make a request; download a file, post a reply, send a PM. This action is called a "querie". A querie, or querty is a action sent to the database like a bullet. And, the database returns it to you, the user.

So, picture AA.COM's database, being the #1 source for Allied Assault. Daily, it must get over 100,000 quertys. When more than a specific amount of quertys enter the database, it tends to "lag" or just mess up the way the database thinks. The result? PHPbb Critial Errors.
