oh and well done wj 
Do you even know what happened?
They didn't take down the forums, they got themselves admined and screwed around with the settings from there.
There's 2 ways they could have done it... either they found an exploit in mybb, or they found a way to access the database. The second one's more likely, because the IRC server was also hit, and it's possible that whatever exploit they used on there led them to get root access to this server too.
Only time will tell though
