i've stopped having issues until this morning when i posted

I think the issues may have been related to another account on the server. Our host usually does a good job of load balancing things like that, but they can only do so much. I have gone through dozens of logs and poured over vBulletin settings, but I haven't found anything that would be causing such high loads as we were seeing. Hopefully things will continue like they have been the last few days, otherwise I'll be contacting our host again.
