Nah, its just that we're on shared hosting and the mysql server does about 3GB of traffic in a day. Once we get the wiki and forums onto seperate servers, or just the one with more poke this should start getting back to normal.

So bigger boiler, larger pistons and more coal it is

but why was it ok till today .. surely that shows a user increase?

Perhaps a software upgrade (most likely PHP or MySQL) didn't go quite so well.

It could be some thing like the use of a unmodified old config file with the new version of the software.

It could also be that Dreamhost are pushing there servers harder then they should (too many virtual hosts on one box for example)

It could be any number of problems (user error, bad business , performance bugs in newly installed software, etc.).

It's been like this off and on for a few months now.
