The livejournal staff replied to my email. The account was deleted, and not by them. They suggested that if all the maintainers claimed to be innocent, someone had broken on to the account. They gave me special instructions for re-creating it and Syd and i will be making a (pretty much) all new community. We will post about it soon. It is a shame that someone was cruel enough to delete the account. We did lose all that information that Lauren had worked on. *sigh*
