Server load help
 

My board has been acting wonky over the last few days, sometimes there are several folks on and no problems, and then today I get this: 9.60 22.52 14.79 | 23 Users Online (20 members and 3 guests)

10 minutes later you get this:

2.54 2.63 5.63 | 29 Users Online

Obviously, there is something setup incorectly, and I'm by no mens an expert or even a novice at this stuff. I dont run vbshout, but we do run vbpager, can anyone offer up ideas to help me out?

TIA

Tim
