As to this Hack it hit 675 older posts which is far to many to remove by hand so I plan to corrospond with the host company to see if they can assist in removing it from the data base by SQL quesry.

Removing them all at once, along with the user should be possible, but I'm no techie. At the very least, how about releasing his e-mail address? I for one plan to complain to Nike corporation about his conduct, and it would be nice to be able to put a name or location to the complaint.

Until Nike gives this forum an acknowledgement and apology for their advertiser's sleezy attack I'll be boycotting any new Nike products. Anyone else with me?

The only way to control spammers is to cut off their funding.  With that in mind I went to http://help-us.nike.com/app/landing/contact and e-mailed a complaint.  The content is as follows...

On Friday, October 7, 2011 my region's web forum for the Porsche Club of America was hacked and spammed by someone who posted a garbled advertisement for a variety of Nike products.  I believe that a corporation as large and quality oriented as Nike would not willingly be a part of such an attack, and I want to call your attention to the undesirable and underhanded tactics of this advertiser. Please advise of your intent.

If anyone else is willing to fill in a comment along these lines as well perhaps we can manage to get Nike's attention.

I applaud your sentiment, but most likely, a scummy multi-national corporation like NIKE probably supports these types of things.  I mean, weren't there allegations of sweatshops and child-labour in their past.

I will now continue my NIKE boycott.
