don't forget script kiddies are poor excuse for the title hackers/crackers because to truely be a good one you have to do something that programming, software, and hardware wouldn't normally do. Its like making a cell phone into your personal laptop or something. Like buffalo mention and I know hundreds of others posts have mention make sure your scripts are secured, patched and updated, not everything secured but with simple things such as proper CHMOD settings, and what I just mentioned above your site will be less likely to encounter problems. I know I have mentioned this a few time back up your website on a daily basis so not to lose any information and if you do get hacked you can bring it back up again, and then try to work on the problem that caused it in the first place.

I'd add stress on the following points,

* Always Update and use the latest version of any CMS package you use for your site.
* Maintain Regular Backups of your site files and data in a safe location.
* Never give your login information to others, or make them publicly visible.
* If you are using your own script in your site, then make sure you've taken care of security of your site, especially SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting.
* Never use a public computer to login to your important accounts, because they may have key-loggers installed that monitors all your keystrokes.
* Finally be more careful and lookout for any issues with any package that you plan to use in your site.

Thanks for the advice guys, i'll make sure i be more careful next time of how i set my site up although im not really good at security knowledge execpt for chmoding files or what not.. I wouldnt put the blame on trap17 or any member on the site for my site being "hacked" or whatever you want to call it, but i surely have an idea on who could have done this but i wouldnt point the finger at anyone.. it doesnt really matter i just hate starting hard work all over again but i'll make backups regularly as suggested and try to be more secure and hope these little sh*ts dont try to hack my site again
