I'll explain the background details.
Beginning of March, Bullet registered. I had recognised him from other sites (but I didn't know him personally at the time). He approached me and said that he had PHP experience and was interested in helping with layout etc.
The staff convened and we decided to sign him on. He requested full board access yadda yadda for 'ease of adaptations'.
First couple of weeks were ok, mods were cleaned up but a few were removed.
Later on, there were arguments in-staff over various things, not limited to Bullet having a blog at 79 posts.
April 1st, Bullet decided that since it was April Fools, and he was getting very annoyed at certain staff, so he demodded some of them etc. That was resolved by 3am EDT. He came back on, during which time Cook de-staffed him; Cook got banned or de-adminned (not sure), SZ banned Bullet, SZ's account got deleted since Bullet changed the Forum administrator ID assignment to himself. And then proceeded to ban and delete DB's account, ban Staryu, and idk who else.
Then he was trying to restore the place when SZ suspended the site.
This backup is from 2am EDT, which is I guess fortunate.
Anyway, since I was the original suggester I have a degree of guilt which I fully understand, and I apologize over that horrible judgement at the beginning (and being a bit too trusting to an outsider). However as a staff body we share that responsibility as well.
And as SZ said, Bullet was a good staff but he went over the line and led this mess to spiral. Yes, we may have done something about it, but chances are Bullet would've been three steps ahead.
Hopefully everything is back normal, let us staffies know about any severe issues.
Oh, I suggest you change your passwords.
