I've taken the old forum completely offline for now.
After examining the website logs, it looks like someone or something has been methodically pounding the old website for at least the six months back that I bothered to look.
Search engines crawl the website to index the pages, but my understanding is they may only do this once a day at most.
But there are hundreds of messages that have been accessed thousands of times per month. I can think of no legitimate reason for this level of access to those message archives.
So the old forum is going to remain offline until I finish reorganizing them and can further examine my access logs to figure out who is responsible for this activity.
