Also you mention that your MS SQL Server is at 100Mb, which seems like allot for 32648 Posts in 5093 Topics and 2731 members, as this site has at least twice that as well as the database being used for other things and the size is still under 65Mb.

Check that the recovery model for your SQL Server database is on 'simple' this should speed things up with the MS SQL Server and cut the size down on the transaction log.

Also 47 forums is a hell of a lot and this will course problems, you should try cutting down the number of forums you have.

My site is about 100 mb, the database is less.
 
This is one of the errors I am getting:
 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/forum/default.asp, line 314

Here are two more:
 
---------------------------------------------
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

/forum/includes/pm_check_inc.asp, line 67
---------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Timeout expired

/forum/default.asp, line 314
-----------------------------------------
Further we are getting a lot of "acces denied" or "page does not exist"
The errors occur frequently, but without real pattern. Only thing I can say is most in the weekend and when there are 40+ users on the forum at the same time.

These are all server issues that you need to take up with your web host.

The 'SQL Server does not exist or access denied' error usually happens if for whatever reason the SQL server can not be connected to.

It occasionally happens on this site and is often coursed by things like network problems connecting to the SQL Server, the SQL Server could be rebooting, or even over loaded.

The 'SQL Server error '80004005' Timeout expired' error is very similar to the one above and is often coursed when the SQL Server doesn't return data within the server specified timeout limit. This again is a sign of network problems or an overloaded SQL Server.

With the amount of server related issues you are getting I think it's time you started looking for a new host.
