Has anyone experienced any strange activity on their laconica instances
lately?

My server has been getting killed the last two days from  IDs similar to
11stead99.  New users keep popping up with 11 at the front end of their user
nickname.  All notices from the users come from web.  Thankfully they are
not porn related but they are obviously spam oriented.  I am blocking the
IDs as created in my config file but am not sure how to stop them.  I am
receiving email notices saying the request to confirm email address was
rejected.  After a few hours later my site becomes inaccessible and I am not
able to even login via SSH.  The only way I can gain access to my site again
is by logging into Slicehost and creating a new root password / rebooting
the server.  Scary I know.

Any creative ideas?

Has anyone else battled this recently?

I am using 0.8.0 on ubuntu 9.04 with apache2 on slicehost.
