As you may have noticed, someone was here. We'll clean up the mess they left as quickly as possible.

Okay. For those of you who missed our incredibly brief hacking saga, let me tell you what happened. Some kid who still thinks spelling words with numerals is cool got into our system through a YaBB vulnerability on a different website that happens to be on the same box. He went through each website on the box and replaced the homepages with a poorly-spelled calling card. I stumbled across it a few minutes later, Tage and I had a good laugh, and then Tage ignored my request that he fix the problem and went to lunch for an hour and a half (he did, however, shut the site down while he was gone, so if you couldn't get in that's why). When he got back he fixed the problem in just under two minutes, and now we're back. We won't give you the kid's IP address, but we will tell you that he lives in Uruguay and speaks portuguese (which makes him bilingual, so he's smarter than his sloppy hacking would make him appear).

The page he used to do it, if you're interested, can be found here: http://www.unamea2002.hpg.ig.com.br/cmd.txt

By the way, I still don't think he actually speaks Portuguese. The site you found with his name was done by someone else.
