    Site under attack by spammers

    My site was an acquired site. The previous owners had installed a blog hosting software for forum members to use. It failed and was never fully decommissioned. Apparently, spammers discovered it and have created over 100,000 trackbacks and a number of accounts.

    Since it is no longer used or promoted (or really useful to the site) What do you think I should do?

    Redirect the traffic to the home page?
    Redirect the traffic to an error page?
    Redirect the traffic to a site map?
