what could be directing them there? possibly a plugin?

Are your configuration options correct, under both your admin panel and also in your config.php? It looks like a .CSS file is redirecting to the wrong images and also some links are directing towards the wrong location.

Did you recently change the directory from mysite.com to mysite.com/forum? If so it could just be backlinks that are not yet fixed, or bots scanning the site (using the old address) until they update to the new one.

I never changed. I was always /forum. that's what was so strange. I posted in another thread that after I optimized the database, all of my 500 errors, 403 misdirection errors, CPU maxing out and VM hitting 4GB disappeared after optimization.

I also moved to a new server as well, but everything else is exactly the same other than the optimization.
