Well, people, it turns out that when you have a larger site such as an article site, there is a certain amount of maintenance you need to do as the database administrator.  Stupid as it sounds, I had absolutely no idea.  My site at the time of my host removing it from its online status had over 25,000 articles, 6,000 articles, and I guess a ton of spam comments.  Well, lesson learned, and I hope that all of my authors are not too angry with me.  I have to start from scratch with a new site, and redo all of the steps from square one.  I know, booooo, hiiiiissss, boooo.... but I know better now.  This is probably the reason why I got that Google Slap.  My data was slow to load and was dragging down the host's server.
