Is the Forum hacked ?

I recieved massive spam mails on my jabaco mail address. The first mail came from info@jabaco.org.
157 mails since 26.september.
It also used my forum name.

Seems like the forum or the database behind was hacked. Or maybe the mail account from jabaco itself.

Could someone clear this up?
Second question how do i erase my account here? i mean fully erase?

Not hacked but the message-system was used for spam from a botnet. Sorry for that but I thought captchas could protect us from automatic mailing systems. I disabled the message system.

It's possible to delete the account: Edit Profile => User Account => Delete
