I don't know if Rob can do anything short up upgrading to new forum software. From what I can determine this Snitz forum code was last updated 10 years ago. The hack is probably SQL injection through a known security bug that has never been fixed. If the extraneous code is removed it would reappear whenever the hacker wanted. The tough part of switching forum software is migrating all the old posts so they don't get lost (there is a lot of historical data here). Some of the forum software has migration tools to assist with this task but I remember when I did it feeling overwhelmed and wound up hiring somebody to do it for me.
