Yeah, especially since Allan filters most of his stuff to a particular list (for pretty good reasons).

Short version: Facebook temporarily suspended a sh*load of accounts. The IAGSDC admins are back now, I forgot to update this with the additional info of the time, but it reinforces the "if you don't know 3 separate ways to contact this person, your social connections aren't secure".
