I feel so sorry for the admin of this proboard:
freeadvertise.proboards62.com/index.cgi
Just today, the forum was cracked and the entire forum was destroyed, all threads and boards were deleted, turning the site completely into a wasteland. As for the admin of the board? He doesn't even know it happened, the admin wasn't even on today. I think that's just terrible, that forum was incredibly active and a TON of work went into that forum.
This is sadly the effects of password cracking. A user named [MoD] cracked the admin's password of that forum and got into the administrator account of the forum. This should be a lesson that you should NEVER have a password as simple as a mere word such as "mypassword", it should be much harder to guess, something like "myPaSSw0rD839" or something like that.
