FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

Main instance hacked? Time to use an alt!

The first hack is a rite of passage for every site that gets big. It means we've been recognized!

Luckily, this seems to be a standard troll (with some tech knowledge) - they've defaced the site and put redirects to shock sites, rather than injecting actual malware or quietly collecting everyone's passwords. This could be much worse.
