You mean it was saying it was too busy when it wasn't actually busy?
"Busy" is hard to define, especially on that server which is running
a lot of services (web, subversion, lists, wiki, forums, etc...).
It's probably better to have a slow experience rather than a failed
"too busy" experience until we see that there's a breaking point
where it's too slow to be usable.
If we ever hit that, we'll have to do something else, like manually
disable a service temporarily or upgrade the hardware.

You have _one_ server?
Fix that.
Fix what? The system is sufficiently powerful to run all those
services simultaneously, even when we have a large burst of activity
(like a product announcement or a Slashdotting). It has redundant
internal hardware and we can move quickly to a backup server in case
of a catastrophic system failure.
The problem was that the default vBulletin configuration was too
conservative about when it would put up a "Too Busy" warning. We
fixed that.
