As you know, we've been working through multiple large DDoS attacks over the last little while. We have a very persistent extortionist who has been taking advantage of the fact that we would do anything to ensure that you have the best possible experience on our website.
We've made the decision to remain offline while this DDoS attack continues in order to set an example to this hacker, and to protect the bitcoin community from future attacks.
We love bitcoin, and won't allow it to be a way for hackers to do this to all of you.
We will not be meeting his demands, and appreciate your support while we stand strong against this blatant attack on our community.

Oh, no, I'm ruined! Now, I have to change my forum username.
I don't understand this. This forum allowed 2 different users to register the same name?
EDIT - DD4BC - Were you hacked, and someone is using your handle?
Why the "WARNING: Trade with extreme caution" message below your handle?
