This was one person's decision, and was deliberately done for the sole purpose of messing with the owner of the victim site (although I'd hardly call the particular individual a victim). Regardless, the team was pretty disappointed. The one person currently owns all parts of Emerald's hosting, so it was their decision, albeit a ridiculous one. They don't take the project seriously, and it's more than a little embarrassing to the rest of the people associated with the team that this kind of thing keeps happening, over and over again.
