See, when we got FARKed, they pointed to the blog view, which is better. It requires fewer database lookups. It also made like $3 in ad revenue that day (typically about $15/month). This time they are pointing to the thread, which means the whole system has to work harder to resolve the page.
I've made a few adjustments so that the system will just become slow, and not stop responding altogether, when these things happen. There are a lot of other performance tricks I could implement - unfortunately some of them would remove features of the forum software, so right now I'm just hoping this is temporary.
