But here's the really good news. Your board operator (Charles) has taken some very smart steps to help boost performance and resiliency. This should result in overall faster loading on the forum, as well as the ability to weather future storms with less dramatic impact to you, the users. A large forum with a multi-GB database and long history is not a trivial operation. It can be further complicated with that site can be considered a target. And quite frankly, it doesn't take much these days to be labeled a target. With the measures that are being put into place, these factors should be less of an issue.
Thanks for the update and glad you were able to identify the source. I really hope they will suffer consequences.

Also appreciate Charles taking the steps to improve things.

Chas.
What I suspected.

Any way to track down who did it?
