Yes the board was hacked into and the posts from the OQ were sent out by way of PM to many. Then HF posted the entire OQ on several boards. It has certainly caused a great deal of problems, hurt feelings and more. SS is now shut down. We don't when or if Lisa and Christian will reopen it. Time will tell.

So, that's what has happened. While the board has had it's fair share of problems, there are a lot of good people there who shouldn't have to go through all this.

I guess the only answer is technology is far from perfect and nothing is private. So, we have learned a valuable lesson, unfortunately at the expense of some folks feelings. It's a shame and I feel bad for many folks.
