 * This started a few months ago. My site crashes (my tables/posts) are completely
   empty.
 * When I run mysql database check/repair, I get the following message:
 * admin_wrdp8.wp_posts
    warning : Table is marked as crashed and last repair failed
   warning : Size of datafile is: 203076496 Should be: 203076336 error : Found 12394
   keys of 0 error : Corrupt
 * I “repair” and all is fine. It is crashing about 4x per week. Anyone seen this
   before?

 * Thanks t-p, I have. I’m with Hostgator and they say it is a wordpress issue (
   and now I’m here :)).

 * -try deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the
   problem. If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit.
 * -switching to the default theme (“twentyten”) for a moment by renaming your current
   theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea is to force WordPress to fall back
   to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific issue.

 * thanks t-p, been there, done that. I have (hopefully) now ruled out it being 
   a plug-in issue. I haven’t tried the theme, but not willing to change that significantly
   and wait for days to fail, while being screwed up. The blog site gets several
   thousand uniques a day is is the heart of my business.
