[Forums] Hack attempt

Some script kiddies attacked the forums today, I guess using an SQL injection to change some key settings to make the forum show their name. I fixed it as soon as I saw it, but if you notice anything strange then please let me know.

SQL Injection through which method? Only say if you have fixed it. :) . Is this forum an older version of PHPBB that you guys have just been modifying?
When I was writing my forum software I always have this fear I forgot something and there will be a hole someone will take advantage of. Since it was something I started from scratch though I made sure to only access SQL through parametized inserts/selects/etc which should stop those kind of attacks.
