Too big to fail

Cool!
I don't know if the new version has it, but some time in the not-too-distant future it's going to need a CAPTCHA implementation to cut down on drive-by spam.

Kudos.
I may be just making an idle observation, it seems that there are fewer "trolls" in the form of "spam". If so, double kudos!!

Hmmm, 1,000 users. I wonder how many of them are visiting on "company time".
 I've noticed that things slow down a bit on weekends... BTW, I'm retired...not robbing any boss of productivity here.

They went online with computerized 'bots and overnight registered 8500 new members on a forum that normally has 3000 people total. Will take the admin over a day to delete these, one by one. Its just the prelude to a spam attack and all of us are concered with "drive by spam" hitting us.

Wayne, I admin and mod several phpbb forums, and the one thing to be cautious on with not upgrading is the security bulletins. There are many holes in these bbs's that get fixed with ever minor version. One bbs I belong to was recently fully comandeered by the hackers and they demanded an Xbox 360 to release it (lol dang kids).
Also, you can tune your SQL server to do queries without locks, some of the vb and phpbb queries do read with intent to write queries, these can be changed to "dirty" queries which prevent any sort of bottleneck like you may be seeing. Just my .02 of course.

There was not 1000 people here at once. I kept checking back that day, about 1000 times.
