there's not much to say...
good thing they didn't delete anything, and you gotta see the good side of things, they showed us our weakness(es)
now it's up to us to make sure nothing of the sort ever happens again!
about fixing it there wasn't much to do, just removing the index.html replacement page and putting the old index.php back.
once again I was lucky enough to be there at the time it happened.

It's propably the message board that was bugged and hacked, I dunno if you guys keep your board updated with the latest security fixes, but Invision Power Board v2.0.2 is a few versions behind (2.2.x has been out for a while).
I was a co-admin on a forum that was hacked/defaced by a stupid phpBB bug a few months ago, it sucked.

Whoa guys... you know what this means right???? GBAtemp has made it big time. The site is soooooo popular that someone deems it worthy to hack.
Way to go guys! This site is truely the best!!! I love you guys!!!

Thank god t3h captain was here, I don't know what I'd do if this site were down for more than an hour or so.

Just what I thought.
But not popular enough. Wikipedia deleted the gbatemp article. I wonder what happened to it...

Wikipedia's been really getting on my nerves lately. It seems some moderators are nominating articles for deletion for no apparent reason. It's lucky most Wikipedians have the common sense to object to it.
Maybe since the site has to do with roms...? Well, again, props on getting it back up fast, and what a n00b hacker, editing the index.php, seems like he/she couldnt do much anyways! I say you have ninjabots patrolling the site for hackers... >.>

You might have.
I signed up here to read the reviews a few months ago. Now I'm finally posting on the forums.

he only edited index.php and didn't delete anything from the website propably just to avoid extreme legal sentencing just incase he gets caught, some hackers even bother to backup the original site's index files before they replace it(deface it) with their own.
Also, if your site gets hacked but nothing valuable was lost or deleted, you're propably not going to pursue this guy for a long time if at all, so he can get away with defacing 100s of websites without any actual report filed against him.
Some hackers dont actually delete anything because of a moral "code" or "oath" they follow, they only hack just to prove that they can, or show their power and the same time others weaknesses.
