any ideas what would cause this ?

Have a look at a similar site:

The other thing to check is your passwords... make sure they're not on any of the password trading sites..

Fusker = fuckers

Have you got any password protection software?
If not and a user/pass gets posted on a big board, say hello to high b/w bills.

Have you submitted a TGP gallery with some movie clips?

I remember doing that once on el-ladies.com - the traffic nearly killed the server.

Either that or fuskering sounds about right.
