OK... what's going wrong?

[Zappo]

Well... the title says it all. There's been some nasty problems today - the boards have been locked for hours, until sigs, avatars and 'who's browsing' got disabled, and even now I get a few 'the boards are too busy' every now and then.

What resources are lacking? What can be done?
