It shouldn't. Server bandwidth looks fine since the bot attack.
What's with the captcha image? That's only during registration, not for posting.

Got taken down since the spam bot spammed it... I think

Forums to me should be like component selectors so I can filter out the noise from the useful nuggets of info; If the system allowed people to tag / group their replies and posts, these could be filtered on viewing. It would be interesting to see what difference such a system would make to long threads and the latency of the server response time with relevance filtering of posts.

However I think the subject matter of this forum is sufficiently specialised that I can't see that happening anytime soon.

It may be worth splitting some of the more popular categories - on which subject maybe a test & measurement section might be worth adding, as there isn't currently really a section for test topics other than reviews.
Perhaps also FPGA/CPLDs, maybe more to stimulate discussion than move the minimal existing traffic on the subject.

I agree with everything you wrote here except the silly comment about dumb newbie questions. Eventually newbies become experts and I am sure at one time you asked your share of stupid questions! Please refrain from insulting people.
