That's a great question. Especially now that the registration has that fancy "type the code" thing, and the spammers accounts are all registered today.
Have admin try changing the wording of the forum title, and maybe the order it appears on in the list. If those things don't help, they will at least help narrow down what it's NOT.
Ostensibly, these are automated spam bots, not humans, so there is something about that forum that's making it a target, so I'd try changing the characteristics of it.
I've got a buddy who used to run a forum based on this version of vBulletin. I'll give him a call and see if he has any ideas.
