Yes, it's turkish. But I'm glad to see every forums and posts are available, because an evil cracker  may erase all of them.

This version of PHPBB looks to be fairly old.
Most BB software has vunerabilities that need regular patching with latest versions. |

| But, I am enjoying the music that plays when you're on the MAIN page, have a listen. |

I’m pretty sure the banner says
“Come to Abdulla and Omar’s pre-Superbowl tailgate party - fully-veiled virgins especially welcome!
Lots of shawarma and hummus for all!
No alcohol of course, but we party like we did when the twin towers fell.
Please be advised that we turn off the TV when the game starts – the infidels play the game with a ball made of pig skin!” |

Well, I guess I've got a really big incentive to upgrade the site to the latest phpBB now. It wasn't very hard to get everything fixed, and if it really was an evil hacker, my hosting provider makes nightly backups so I could always revert it a day.
So about the inconvenience everyone. It might have something to do with my crackdown on all the spammers. Maybe I pissed someone off, or maybe it was just some script-kiddy who wanted to impress all his pimple-faced friends

Can you tell if the hacker harvested email addresses?
