Turned off active users list temporarily

[Steve St.Laurent]

I've temporarily (at least for now) disabled the active users list on the forum home page for testing. Last night the server was overloaded for about an hour and a half and the majority of the queries were looking up the info for the who's online display. In changing the setting I noticed that they now recommend not using that feature for sites that have hundreds of simultaneous users - we regularly hit around 600. I'm going to watch the server loads and see what happens.

Seems to have sped up the site considerably- thanks, Steve!

Personally, I liked seeing who was on.
