It's really slow loading. Was your forum a vbulletin board?

Nevermind, I just looked around and your forum was a phpbb board. Any chance you backed it up recently or has your hosting company backed it up?

I'll have to find out later tonight. I can't access anything usefull from the office. Apparently the group is some Turkish Liberation e-terrorist organization that has figured out how to bugger up phpbb boards.
I'll find out tonight whats up I hope.
according to the phpbb forum site this is a known security issue.
the system is basically in place, as you can see by going to...
http://half-mind.com/forum/login.php?redirect=
http://half-mind.com/forum/memberlist.php
the forums says that our index.php file has been hacked.
the fix is to update the software... so I guess I need to
backup database structure
backup database content
backup config.php
upload new/old version of index.php
then upgrade to newest version.
if you google "hacked by yusuf"... you will see we are not alone.

I think the same group broke into my phpbb on my site about 2 months ago, did they leave you any contact info? email etc? Just so happens my g/f is Turkish, maybe send them something nasty? Already had her write something to them when it happened to me.
