What about 3 or 4 live threads - identified as such? Maybe spread the load?

Perhaps they should start a thread telling folks to keep their page number at 50 instead of 250. It might help with bandwidth.

Well, we can give it a try. If there’s a chance that hundreds of people trying to post to the same thread at the same time is causing a deadlock on the db, it’s worth a shot to try to split the load. John says the load avg on the web server was low, the cpu’s were not busy and the db sever was mostly idle last time, but we couldn’t get any throughput. Could be a logjam in the db caused by record locks making it hard to get anything in or out.
