Who let the Dogs out, who, who, who?

I switched on the old Interwebs this morning to find a whole TON of hacking forums completely and utterly DOA, many of which are completely unrelated to each other with little to no crossover from member to member. They all seem to have been systematically nailed for spam, abuse, hacking, ToS violations.....all sorts of things. I'm not going to name any - I just wonder if anyone else out there who goes trawling forums has noticed any sites suddenly vanishing off the face of the Earth.

Seems like we have a few Dogs of War running riot...
