Usually you won't see a thing on the site since they don't necessarily try to hit a vbulletin file, they just pound the server, not the site itself, with requests. I know that the few times I've been dosed (how to you spell that?), I have not seen any increase in the number of users (well, the number of users goes down cuz no one can access the site!).
