BTW phpBB3 (free) is real slick though and will give the $200 vBulletin a run for its money.

I love vbulletin and phpbb. They are both very good. vbulletin is better for larger/more active forums. The database vbulletin's database is far more efficient and therefore would decrease the server load. vbulletin also requires a lot less tweaking/hacking to get the features/performance needed to run a large/active forums.
Also, why would you not want more users? More users=more money from sponsors=ability to afford better web hosting/dedicated server=a sucessful forum community. I don't see how there is any downside to drawing more users. After all, that is one of the main goals for anyone who runs a website.
I haven't looked into phpBB3 yet. That may be another option that would work out well for this community. I'll do some research and keep you guys posted.
As far as this site goes now. It is running much better and I'm not getting the errors anymore.
