I'd also would like to know what happened here, the best conclusion i have is that some jerk who probably has no life hacked the forum, deleted my account and set himself as an administrator.
Unfortunately, when i've tried to reinstall my username, i lost the all data from the past month so all the posts were lost. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to the site, measures were taken and in case this kid will delete the database or the forum or the site or whatever access he has, he'll get in big trouble. i hope he covered good his tracks, for his best.

Yea, this was pretty wierd. This is a fan site, people should leave it alone. Did anyone else get a PM from this guy? He sent me one, my advice would be to delete it immediately.

tlo, thanks for your concern....
I got some help from erdrron's forums, the mysql database itself isn't harmed, the people there are saying if I get a fresh install of the forrum and insert the data again everything should be fine.... I will try it out tomorrow after getting more opinions...

another update, I've most likely lost all of my forum posts except for 49 of them in a private, useless forum.

teslawlo, the guy who hacked my forum had an norvegian IP, his username was lock and his email is [email protected]
i sent him an email yesterday and this is what he said:
I TRIED TO BE NICE TO YOU, AND I DIDNT EVEN TOUCH YOUR SITE, ALL I
WANTED WAS AN APOLOGY FOR ONE PERSON DELETING MY SITE AND TELLING MY
MEMBERS TO GO TO URS, WELL NOW ITS ON BITCH, UR FORUMS GETTIN IT HARD


if you can restore your board, i suggest you upgrade to 2.0.11, i'm really sorry for what happened to you.

yeah I might need help but I'll ask a close friend if he can do it first so I might not have to bother you ;) I'm still admin, the guys at erdrron helped me out and cleaned up things a little bit

yeah, you get great help from erdrron, i don't know what i would have done w/o his help.
just don't forget to upgrade the board to 2.0.11 and i think you'll have to break the database into several pieces so you can restore it easier
