The old Vanstoneweb site seems to have been hacked

I still get spam emails linked to Adidas, Nike, Etc!
Latest emails, purporting to come from the site, actually come from virtualforums?!

If you are on Ancestry, look for my tree "Garrad & Sims family tree" and look for my great-grandmother Ada Jane Vanstone (1862-1945)

The earliest Vanstone I've found is from 1535, but I don't know if or how he is connected.

In a case in Common Pleas, Hilary term 1535:
Devon. Richard Blynsham, clerk, versus John Vanstone, of Martyn, yeoman or butcher, for a debt of 10 marks.

I'm not sure where "Martyn" is. Martinhoe, Martinstowe, Combe Martin?
