What kind of outages are you referring to - the servers being completely unreachable, or 'database unavailable' errors? Some time in the vicinity of 3:15-4:15, I got the 'database unavailable' page, so just checking whether that's part of the outages you were talking about or a separate incident 
Found this tonight John, when searching:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted at (null):0 (tried to allocate 35 bytes) in /var/www/html/forums.3.0.3/search.php on line 1714
...this could be a partial cause or combination effect.

Naw, that's an easy one - hard memory limit set in the configuration to avoid having scripts run away and such the memory dry. I bumped it up in last nights events, we'll see if that's enough to hold everyone's search results.

Verdad Gallardo Actually there IS a minor issue that as of yet hasn't been exploited (to my knowledge) that vBulletin has released a fix for. There's also the well-known PHP exploits with versions prior to 4.3.10, but the system has been upgraded there as well. There was, however, a big attempt by someone to SSH to the box using a laughable dictionary attack on common usernames. 
I nixed that one easily enough though, I simply firewalled out all but three small network segments from reaching port 22.

Whatever it was, appears to have been a temporary deal. We're sustaining higher usage today with no ill effects at all. Heck the servers are idling nice and cool (730+ users right now, server loads are at 1.12 and 1.13).
