Hacked By Severely Underachieving Hackers!

General
Alright, you bastards who hacked into my account!!! If your aim was to mildly confuse me for a little while this morning, THEN YOU FUCKING WELL SUCCEEDED, MISTER!!!
Okay, so I went to add someone to my block list today, and then I did a 'wut' face as I realized my block list had been erased. This annoyed me since I'd built up quite a substantial one and was kind of proud of it. It was like the handprints outside Graumann's Chinese Theater; except names of assholes, and not in cement.
I opened a trouble ticket about this. Admin replies, 'I dunno!'. Then I get an email from Dragoneer saying, 'We regret to inform you that we left security holes in our code big enough for hackers to come in and mess with you and forty other users'. Well isn't this just ducky. (He was actually quite apologetic about it though, so that's cool. As much as I wince at his lack of forethought, I have never known Dragoneer to be mean-spirited. And he offered me some compensation which I shall not reveal here, as I may or may not be geographically incapable of accepting it, and I don't want to get people's hopes up.)
Anyway, this whole business of being hacked explains a few things. The block list vanishing, the... uh. Well, I suppose that's just the one thing then.
Literally one thing. I've been looking all over my gallery and can't find any other evidence of tampering. Nothing deleted; no bizarre comments left by 'me'. Have you guys noticed anything? Seriously; if you've seen anything odd, anything at all, please tell me.
Though I don't really expect there to be. I've had a lot of experience with internet douchebaggery, and it always amazes me how little scope these feckers have. Whenever they've gotten ahold of some personal info of mine, I've been terrified for a short while. Until I remember what always happens; nothing. These people are like kids who leave flaming bags of dog doo on your porch, except they don't put any poop in the bag and they don't set it on fire. So you're like, 'Oh! There's a paper bag on my porch! And it's empty... That's kinda scary, I guess... What!?'
BTW, the block list situation is under control. If you pissed me off enough for me to remember your name, you're still on it. And if I don't remember you at all, then I'm probably not mad at you anymore. Kind of a zen thing. If I had blocked you and now you're not anymore, feel free to troll me so I can spot you and put you right back on the list again. (BTW, Maverick; I finally understand your little alligator-mouth message. Still don't know WHY though... Way to give up any possible element of surprise.)
So what's the outcome of this? They got my PMs? Oh no! They'll get to read pretty much exactly the type of stuff I put in my comments, only a hell of a lot longer. Have fun with that, boys.
And you know... in a weird way, I feel sorta honored by this.
Dragoneer said forty-one users got hacked. Forty-one. On a site with HOW many thousands of members? And I'm somehow interesting enough that these hacker fellows chose ME among all those thousands to go after!? It's kind of amazing. I had no idea I was that well-known.
Thanks for inflating my already-astronomic ego even bigger, fellas! :D
EDIT; DISREGARD THAT I SUCK COCKS

"the comment or commission this has been on got deleted"
well - sad - but I kept a copy of that little christmas charol horror story off site - I had this feeling it might be needed. I think I'm posting it as a story now ;)
Thanks for pointing this out; I gotta investigate. GRRRRRR.
