Yeah we had to turn off that forum (hopefully just for part of the day today). One of the threads in there is getting a LOT of traffic today and it was bringing down the whole site.

Oh? Why would a single forum bring down an entire site? Spam?

No it was just a lot of people trying to access the same thread, but the fix required taking down the whole forum.
