Turns out the hack attempts were just coincidentally at the same time as the real reason for the problems. Search.
Various sources say that vbulletin search falls over above ~1m posts. We have 1.5m. Most of the time it works fine and then randomly some searches take 5 minutes and kill the server.
There are alternatives that I'm looking into.

As long as you kept a backup (possibly a legacy separate hosting) you could take huge swinging chunk out of General, Console and Headlines. Online could also be cut but that might be a no go area like First play.
If that was the plan I'd offer a few hours of going through the old posts to see it there is anything that was really worth saving. I just quickly went to random pages and there was sod all that could be of use these days.
