Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Another non-boat related board I used to frequent for several years started out with a fairly popular simple script and then as the board started to get really busy there were lots of headaches similar to what you seem to be experiencing here. The only solution for them was to change to a more robust forum with a different format that could handle the traffic. It wasn't easy but it did get worked out in the end. I suspect you probably would prefer to do other things besides *fixing* the board due to it's popularity. I could be wrong, but if there is anything I can do to help out let me know. (I'm sure I'm not the only one who has panic attacks when you're down )

Here's rootin' for you...
