First of all to answer the first post. At this time there is no indication it was one of our members. I'll explain why I think it is not in a bit.

I too noticed that post on yahoo and larien as well as myself responded to it. The Admins have better than e-mail to keep in touch. Each of us has the phone numbers to the others so that as soon as a situation occurs we can and do contact each other.

The reason it took us so long to notice the issue is all of us have jobs not to mention school. Plus it's getting close to Thanksgiving break. I know Larien was up until the early hours of the morning this morning packing. I've had 3 major projects do. We simply have not been on the site in the past few days. Cain informed me of the issue last night. As soon as I heard about it I informed the other admins. This is the reason I created the DKD user group on facebook. Most people have it. I've allowed everyone the ability to post on the user group's wall. At anytime you can use it to inform the admins of the site going down or to just keep in touch with us. The admins will also use it to make announcements of the site being down and such. I urge everyone to join it. It's just one more way for us to get a hold of you.

Now as to why I do not think it's a user. If you do a search for Hacked by TopSat13 you will notice several sites coming up in your search engine that have been hacked by the same hacker. While I like to think I have someone out there who hates me enough to do this.....I doubt this person hates all those other people as well. I also prefer to give our users the benefit of the doubt concerning such situations. For not only does it hurt us but them as well. So at this time there is no indication this was caused by a DKD user. However that does not mean we will not look into the situation as best as we can. Just remember that there is a reason most hackers never get caught. It is extremely difficult to catch hackers of this nature. As to if any authorities have been informed, I have not done so. I can not speak for DK.

Thank you for the questions.
