You'll need to go hunting on the new archive board.
All large boards site-wide have had all posts from roughly 12-31-12 and prior moved to archival boards. The worst offenders (read: boards with the most threads) were migrated tonight. This will continue with a few more boards in the near future.
The thread listing and all the work associated with it (pagination, highlight unread posts, etc) was the cause of slow downs, particularly when a board with a lot of threads such as Memphis or CUSA or NIU had a game going on.
These changes should help us get through March Madness with minimal slow down.
