From the Board stats page:

Date -------- Unique IPs -- Pageviews -- Pages per IP
15/08/2013 -- 313 --------- 3666 ------- 11.7
16/08/2013 -- 354 --------- 3918 ------- 11.1
17/08/2013 -- 372 --------- 131535 ----- 353.6
18/08/2013 -- 334 --------- 3597 ------- 10.8
19/08/2013 -- 307 --------- 3502 ------- 11.4

So it looks like either Google or the WayBack machine archived the Board on the 17th, taking roughly 127,400 looks at the Board to do so...

...

... but that's a really boring explanation. Anyone got any alternate theories? I'm going to postulate that it's the result of a quarter of a million Suethors discovering the PPC simultaneously, only when they came over to post angry messages about HOW VERY DARE WE they were all struck with a collective hallucination that this was actually a Board for writing stock market fluctuation fanfic, and left in bewilderment.
