No idea. We did do some tweaks to enchance speed which would allow more people on concurrently (well, actually it extends the users stay since they dont get miffed aboout slow responses and bugger off). Would be surprised if that was it alone though...

Webaliser shows nothing particularly strange either... except that we got 77 hits for the search term "boom goes the dynamite" during the month. Which I would have to classify as "strange" alright...

boom goes the dynamite is clip of some poor tv sports presenter trying to spoof along a report when his teleprompter breaks down. Amongst the most painful tv broadcasts i've ever witnessed. There is a clip of it on the rugby board

So If you idle / AFK for X hours, you are still considered logged in? So we had a thousand extra idlers on top of the usual thousand idlers?

The forums at somethingawful.com have 5000 users online at peak times and they are always complaining about how Vbulletin scales very poorly.

Do you guys forsee any problems as boards gets busier?
