What a crazy evening with the server. I decided to switch over to a raid 1 setup for /home tonight. At first, I thought the rsync of the data didn't go according to plan. The java sites wouldn't restart. I got blank pages. tomcat reset the configuration on several of the sites when /home was unavailable.
Finally, I managed to get the sites up to find out that for the last three weeks the midnightbsd forum site has been getting spammed. Over 1800 fake user accounts and 20,000 messages! There were too many to weed out potential real posts. I just had to delete them all from users ids in this block. I enabled some additional hoops to setup accounts, but it may still mean spam is coming. The software I'm using sucks about ip blocks and banning users. I might have to look elsewhere.
