Its quite amazing the damage caused by all that today... and the almost death of the server...

After looking at logs, the facts of what happened, I am more thinking this was not a load issue due to the machine unable to handle the web requests. it seems a certain DDOS was being used, or atleast attempted. I am sure some script kiddie /.'r thought it was funny.

anyway, the servers up, the forum has been cleaned ( had to repair the DB), and its handle'n 100 - 120 requests a second in MySQL without breaking a sweat.
