Actually I wouldnt call it hacking if they merely used a flaw in the boards coding to gain access to the tools needed to delete the users. Also, I believe Jay did most if not all of the work. Thanks dude for trying and doing so much.

ACTUALLY if u wanna get technical hacking means to gain access to something without permission, so therefore its classed as hacking

Yeah, we run mod_securtiy on Apache and my ruleset blocked several of the commands the attacker attempted. All things considered, we fared better than others would have in this situation.
