Hey Nickbe,
They could have firstly uploaded the shell to the forum dir, and then upload another one (because php shells allow browsing of the directories on a certain web hosting account) in another writeable directory.
So yeah, even if they manage to get into your admin panel, and if you have no writeable directories you're pretty much safe.
