this code right? I have added this, lets see what happens
I think this has made it worse, page time still slowly increasing. I think my only option is to go back to the previous version of wpforo to see if that stops the problem.
I have a lot of addons with it though, do I need to revert everything back to its previous verions?

I think it's not so much, so you can keep and continue to use it. Don't do fast changes, just wait for 1-2 days. Keep this hook and continue using it for a few days. You're doing the changes very fast, so you don't assess the result correctly.

Most of addons should work fine, even all I cannot see now. If you see a problem with some addon you can contact gVectors Support and ask them for previous versions.
Before this downgrade can you please enable DEBUG TO A LOG in your Wordpress site?
Add this to your wp config php
// This enables debugging. define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'WP_DEBUG_LOG', true );
@dimalifragis Will it effect my users at all? Or just i will be able to see it? thanks for your help man
@percysgrowroom No, it will just record the errors/warnings/notices to wp-content/wp_debug.log file, for you to check.
I have waited a few days and it is still terribly fluctuating
Im going to try the config thing that was suggest to see if that give any more clues but i think my best option is to put the table back on mysaam, and revert the wpforo plug in back to the previous version

As @robert said do not do massive changes at once. Just put the debug log active and leave it for a few days, this is the very first step in WP debug.
What you say above will just hide for a while your problem. A problem that you didn't find the cause if it.
Just leave the tables as is, you can only revert to InnoDB the _wpforo_forums table and downgrade to 1.9.7 version.
