hmmm i see my name shows up....

I believe he was trying to exploit VBulletin. Some bulletin boards (ubb mainly) have issues with characters like that. I'd suggest you check your logs just to be safe and then upgrade to 2.3.0.

I used to run UBB on a site and it was exploited by a member with the same type of name. The mysql db was erased completely but we were luckly enough to have logs with recent IPs. We compared those IPs to the ones that were normal and just narrowed it down that way until we found out who this guy was. No unrecoverable damage was done, as the system was colocated and backed up nightly, but I'd definately check.

Quite possible. But recent PHP's have magic_quote_gpc which escapes all metacharacters automatically. That being said I might do mysqldump's of the whole database to a gzip file even though the DB IS 2 gigs!
 
AAALLLL RIGHTY THEN . . . Between the C&C music interlude and the mysterious new member who is already a member its starting off to be a strange day on the board.
