forum is hitting query limits

[ATVTorture]

I logged into my hosting contorl panel this morning and had an error that my datbase is exceeding query limits. This is the message I get:

Query limit is the maximum number of database actions performed in one hour by a specific user. Note that a user can have multiple concurrent MySQL connections, in which case the sum of all database actions for all connections cannot exceed the given limit.

The maximum number of concurrent MySQL connections per user is 10.

The maximum number of database queries per user is 50,000/hr.

Keep in mind this forum has been online with this host for 2 days. I moved away from another host which sucked.

We have a small forum of about 500 users, and aq very small amount of those are actually participating members.

What could be causing this to happen?

Thanks!
