The money went entirely to hosting services. The server copes fine, it's the applications on it that can't handle the load. I'm working on that, but as I've said elsewhere, it's slow-going.

For the record, and for what it's worth, Proteus, I know this is not your fault. Cool

I wonder if something like Phorum or phBB would handle the load better, I know of several high-volume sites that use them.
