Is there a real reason for all these General Errors?

Does this have anything to do with Runouw's absence? Or is there a bug going around the web? Or something else?
Side-question: Should I back up my B64:TSA hacking results on an alternate source, or does Runouw technically have a backup which I could ask for anytime? (I remembered reading about 24murph's deleted levels.)

I don't know why the General Errors have been happening, and I feel like if anyone did know why, they'd have a solution by now.
There is most likely a backup of the forum data, but I don't know if it's available to the public. It's best if you back up anything that's important to another source, just in case; especially if it's something you update often, since recent updates might be missed if the site has to be restored from an earlier backup.
I'd strongly advise you, and anyone else in the Runouw community who hasn't done so already, to join the site Discord server, which does not go down when the forums do and is a good way to keep the community together.

Some theorize that it has something to do with the server that hosts Runouw, for it contains both the database of the forums and the Level Portal's database, which might make it unstable. We might have reached a point where the host's capability is just not good enough for our needs.
The only ones who can solve this problem are the Runouws, however we have lost communication with them.
I sincerely recommend you join the Discord server. This problem is currently being discussed at length, and also it's more active and guaranteed to not have as much downtime as this site's been having. Trust me, we won't bite.

I don't have anything constructive to say except that the discord server really is the coolest of beans. Now with 200% more invisible mode, for when you want to be a part of things but don't want the social pressure.

As a bonus to the above post, Discord wasn’t as bad as I was expecting - it’s actually really welcoming once you finally set up an account. It almost felt just like the forums, at least for me.
By the way, I saved my two important posts on Notepad documents. So as long as my laptop doesn’t fall victim to anything particularly harmful, I’ll hopefully find a new location to update everything. And maybe even submit my codes to a dedicated site.

Thankfully, very recently, we've gotten hold of the Runouws, and heard that they ARE still interested in all that goes on here, and WILL make more of an effort to keep an eye on the server. Also, yes, I have a complete backup of the server, in case you need copies of anything, just give me a PM here or a DM on Discord. This includes both the Runouw.com database AND the LL database.
