RDS would allow us to ignore the current issues at hand.

Move to Geocities

But why is Habbox's DB so broken? I mean theres boards out there with hundreds of thousands of members. Why is Habbox's so unreliable?

Recursion and I both think its a hardware issue that's corrupted the databases.

Because there's a hardware fault SOMEWHERE that means when the server dies it corrupts any current databases transactions. Luckily the forum hasn't been irrecoverably hit yet.

Unfortunately it means whilst some of the tables are broken we can't run our automated backups.

go back to amazon i'll even buy the ******* hosting monthly

So if its hardware, Why not try run a mirror copy of Habbox on another server, See if it shows the same results?
OR
Has the hardware damaged the database?

Why is the server dying in the first place that causes the subsequent corruption..

There's quite a few issues that need to be resolved it seems..
