Heh, KUsports.com has used that PHP message board for *years*, and we just haven't had the time (or inclination, really) to convert it to Django. There's no technical reason why it couldn't use Django -- indeed, Django is very good at forum-style stuff. Message boards on the other World Online sites are indeed using Django: http://www.lawrence.com/forums/ and http://www2.lawrence.com/forums/
And to get back to the performance question: that board nearly brings down the server when we get our post-game rushes of about 20k hits in an hour, but when a Django page gets farked and gets 100k hits in an hour I barely notice. Seriously - we got farked a few weeks ago and it wasn't until someone looked at our server stats the next day that I knew about it.
