I got it too, when I went to the bottom of the page it said we had 2 registered users and 200 guests, I quickly went to the board index, there were over 300 guests, that was clogging the system, attachments were ...?/very slow to load. But I checked some view counts, they weren't going up fast enough to accommodate all those guests. ...??

Sounds like a denial of service/robot attack, as 200-300 guests seems out of the ordinary for this site. Right now, for example, is one registered user and 12 guests.
