Well u might of heard of the new virus that affects forum. and i think you got hit by one when you got that 600 users.
but from a post ive heard if you block the googlebot for a while until there is a new security update your forum , you will be ok.
here is the ip to ban:
66.249.65.43
trace it if you want and it should tell u its a googlebot

the virus CREATS 600 users (new accounts) on the site. im not sure now but i guess for everyone of them the webiste host gets a email. and when the virus creats 600 new accounts in about 1 second the webhost get 600 new emails in about 1 second. they think its a spam or something and they suspend the site.

We have no idea how safe the patch the worm applies really is. We also have reports from phpBB administrators whose site is perfectly safe already to be under a denial-of-service attack caused by multiple requests created by this worm,"


it creates queries and then saves stuff on the server and then propagades using google bot and engine
