And another thing..... WHY on earth would you want guests not to access your site.
If they couldn't go on it that means no one could join.

NO one has hacked your forum .
No hacker would waste their time hacking such a small site.
A hacker would hack a bank or nasa.
As nick said you used a crap password and he/she guessed it.

Again no one hacked you . they guessed a weak password, if anyone was going to hack a site then they would target the support forum.

The support forum would be useless. Hacking a forum they could gain access to all the sites linked to it. |
Do i really need to answer that ? 
And no more pms please or they might be removed.

Hacking(lol), sorry cracking into a forum would only get them access to that one forum and that forum alone, not all those on the system.

It is always staggering how people who clearly no little or nothing of web technology manage to come out with these totally wrong ideas on hacking and are prepared to insist they are right, even if it flies in the face of all common sense 
As everyone has said, when forums are compromised on myff it has ALWAYS been a weak password at fault.
We are not invulnerable, as we know the servers did get hacked a couple of weeks ago  I think in the past when we had never been hacked I was always careful to make the point that you can never be complacent about security, arrogance is always a bad idea in this area.
But when we were hit, a fundermental truth applied, they did not hit on some small forum, or even a big one, they attacked not the sites on the server at all, but the servers kernel so that it could be used for some criminal intent.
