At the moment, we're experiencing traffic that exceeds that on Sept. 11th - which was by far the record at the time. A good proportion of these people are busy registering, and others are uploading avatars, trying out polls, looking at the member list and other resource-hungrey features.
I'm afraid we have to put up with these slow-downs until things calm down. I hope that by the weekend, registration will be back to normal levels, as will traffic, and that people will have tired of all the new toys that they can play with.
At least we're not alone - when RPG.net recently transferred to vB, they experienced similar problems as their members all moved to the new forums - and the RPG.net forums are far les highly trafficked than these. RPG.net's problems seem to have calmed down, as I hope ours will.
Logic dictates that things will improve - it is a fact that vB is less resource hungry than UBB.
