Blank submissions page

Anonymous

I'm trying to solve a problem for a friend. His Geeklog site has been hit pretty hard by spam. The submissions link shows there's 2098 submissions in the queue, but we know they aren't legitimate. When we click the link, the browser pauses for a bit and draws a blank page. The gl_storysubmission table in the database is completely empty.
Can someone tell me where to begin troubleshooting this problem, or provide a solution?
Your help is much appreciated.

For blank pages see the FAQ: Blank page. It's probably just timing out.
Also check the other submission tables. We get spam in the calendar on occasion. Or it might be in the links submission table.

Thanks for your reply.
For those who read this thread later, I found out from the linked FAQ that the execution time was too short for the page to get all the results from the database. I made this addition to the .htaccess file in the public_html folder of the site:
php_flag max_execution_time 300
The page finished rendering. It turns out the thousands of submissions are spam users of the phpBB bridge on his site. I have no idea how he's going to get rid of them all.
