What is happening here? Someone gained control of the boards and are now actively defacing parts of the site. They'll probably have to take them down for a while when they notice and run a analysis and try to secure the app/server.
That's a real drag, but the software probably doesn't get updated so frequently (*cough* perl *cough*) and I don't know what kind of administration the server might get.
I guess this can be considered a shining example of why it's important to update your software, not that that's much help.
Until you see a formal message for Dr. Bob and see the server cleaned up I'd take anything done/said on the boards with a serious grain of salt. Scripties usually just want attention.
