Phew. I managed to restore the forum to a back-up from May 19 (CET). At first glance, all previously deleted threads are back. Depending on the exact time at which the actual back-up took place, any posts made after it (perhaps 1 or 2), will have gone AWOL — but that’s peanuts compared to the amount of threads that had gone lost. So forum-dwellers: have a look at the boards and if any of the posts you made on May 19 are gone (most probably they’re not), well, you’ll have to post them again.

Have you or your webhost identified the spammer?
‘Online Casino’ has been messing about in the album reviews – see Just Another Band from LA
Regarding the forum spam: I’ve got the guy’s IP.
Regarding the JABFLA spam: it happens daily, and I remove it as soon as I can…
In my little experience with this sort of thing I found the best defense was to limit the amount of posts within a certain amount of time. For instance a member is only allowed to post once every 30 seconds. Also it is a good idea to get some trusted, well meaning moderators. If you have enough of a fanbase they’ll usually do it for free (Or maybe some boots?). Well I don’t like to pretend I’m an expert, just my 2 cents.
