Like the forum log, I will add major changes in this thread.
A) Navigation links changed. [Referring to the index page]
Html code file ready for developers.
C) Fixed some 404 errors by finidng the missing files. Files like linkage.js were missing from Zoklet and any other totse mirror.
D) Tried to find the problem with the current template, it seems it's overextended and hence the hot topic menu on the right is missing.
E) Found directories where being called off the wrong way and some image links were broken.
F) Removed Joomla installation and moving anything which isn't required to non-public region. This is to limit any future exploits.
G) Setting file permissions to 644 and 755, also checking for any other exploits on the server. [this will take a while, the text files are HUGE]
H) Ran a check on DB for exploits, will do again once I know more things.

I have the Js code to Hot Topics and I can implenment it .
Moving on favicon is now fixed and it will should be accessible.
More updates to come .
Also, edited the template. Trying to make it more streamlined and centered,
I am going to turn off some features to lower the load and get it stable and then contact the host about it.

Expect more speed.
Seems faster. Could be a placebo, but benefit of the doubt
Vbulletin secured,
Different DB users added.
Logging enabled.
Server optimized a bit further.
ATM we're stressing the server to see what it can handle.
Ran some checks.
I second this, although I have no idea how it will work alongside old IP bans etc. Also, for a slightly more secure connection, are you using SSL?
Yes , most of the times, through the firefox's extension, but I had to edit manually the ssl for this site as it does not recognize that it has the ability for ssl connection that extension for this site.
and speaking about the ip bans, my other locked accts have still the ip logs ? if so then I would like to get deleted if possible.:)
Thanks.
