Without giving too much away(!) can you say what 1 user can do to cause such an outage? I can understand users creating performance problems but this was much worse.

I believe that ultimately this was just a performance problem, due to a unsecure user script however I'd rather not give people ideas, as its a problem that can't really be locked down without removing a lot of functionality from scripts on the server.
Suffice to say that I had suspended the account in question previously (a long time ago) for similar issues, and the website concerned will not be returning again.
