There is no hacking message when I load your forum, but an error message about missing of the class_bootstrap.php file. Can you check if the file exists inside the includes folder?

What exactly did you do to recover the forum from the hack btw? Can you post here all the steps you took?

their was a huge hacked message all over the board. i had a back up of my site. but unfortunately it was from 2 months ago. I'm sure their plenty of different ways to fix the issue. i was only aware of restoring the site to what i had backed up at the time. so thats what i did. i lost 2 months of member sign ups, post, threads. but it was what i needed to do to get the site back up as soon as possible. im currently on 4.0.3. but plan to update soon to avoid future issues suck has my index.php being hacked into threw my server. which is what my hosting company told me the problem was.

If the database was not infected/damaged then the restore was not necessary. All you had to do is a clean up of the file/s. Anyway, this is for future reference. Also it is good practice to make regular backups of your database and to always keep your forum up to date with the latest versions.
