Start fixing and updating.
You got hacked because you're on v2.0.11 and the current one is 2.0.17.
Basically what you can do is download the 2.0.17 version and upload everything except the config.php, install and contrib folders (you'll have to run the update_to_latest.php file in the changefile zip as well).
That will update the forum but you'll lose any MODs you have.
