If something happened, it's long over. Just change your password and if by some mystical chance someone else accesses your account again, we can deal with it from there.
Edit- I looked into it a bit, and the IP address associated with that thread originated from a member named "Rabid Scotty92". When I try to access this user's profile, it automatically redirects to yours.
I'm guessing something happened in the massive database screwup about a year ago and somehow your profiles were merged or something so it put his posts on your account.
In other words, it's highly unlikely that anyone hijacked your account, but you should probably change your password anyway just to be sure. Just let us know if anything further happens, though I doubt it will.
Edit again- Looking into it a bit further, I'm like 99% sure that the database screwup is completely to blame. You joined in January 2009 (and there are posts to back this up) but the thread from 2008 was made in December of 2008, aka before your join date. Your profiles got merged for some reason, I'm assuming in the database error last year. Considering that Rabid Scotty92 made no posts since that thread 4 years ago, there's really nothing for you to worry about. Whoever he is, I'm sure he's long gone.
That had scared the crap out of me. I'm relieved it wasn't important.
