Any thoughts?

In all seriousness, your host is probably VPS and is very strict. Change the refresh rates and DON'T allow unregistered/not logged in to be able to view it.

To the other guy that said he had "dbe" with 12 users, you might want to go to a better host. It uses AJAX, and I know it can cause some strain, but not from 12 people. HostGators.com is a good site that I use to host from and I have 200+ people on a dedicated box with 0 issues. On a VPS/Shared box from HG, I had no issues with 20-50 people on at a time.
