We're Back
Hello everyone,
What a day! The reason all of these issues were happening was... wait for it... Wordpress.
Because of the errors, time was spend looking into the DNS as the faults seemed to be DNS related, even though all measures were taken to ensure downtime would remain at a minimum. Once the site was shifted over, a few errors were expected. When the site started going completely crazy, DNS was checked over and any problems were looked at (again, they seemed to be related to the DNS).
However, it was Wordpress causing all of the trouble. For some reason, it interfered with the forums (even though they are not currently connected) and was spitting out rewrite rules in different areas for no apparent reason. Because of this, I took down the main page and moved the forums back to the root directory. This has solved the problem.
