My site keeps crashing due to CPU overloads. Apparently it's because there a ton of hotlinking and stuff going on, if there any way for me to minimize this?

Easy just put your adoptable images on a separate host like photobucket.

Yes, but that doesn't edit the existing adoptables :3

One thing I recommend you do is DISABLE the featured adoptable. The method that it uses to select the featured adoptable can use some CPU resources if your site has a lot of hosted adoptables.

In functions.php find and delete:

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql database!');
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM owned_adoptables ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1";
$result = mysql_query($sql_query);

if(mysql_num_rows($result))
{
	while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
	{
	$id=@mysql_result($result,$i,"uid");
	$name=@mysql_result($result,$i,"name");
	$imageurl=@mysql_result($result,$i,"imageurl");
	$currentlevel=@mysql_result($result,$i,"currentlevel");
	$totalclicks=@mysql_result($result,$i,"totalclicks");
	$owner=@mysql_result($result,$i,"owner");

	$content = "<p><img src='".$imageurl."' id='me' alt='Featured Adoptable'>
                    <strong><a href='show.php?id=".$id."'>".$name."</a></strong><br />
                    Level: ".$currentlevel."<br />
                    Owner: ".$owner."<br />
                    <a href='levelup.php?id=".$id."'>Add more HP</a></p>";


	}
}
else
{
$error = "No Adoptables!";
return $error;
}

That should help save some CPU for your site.
