2. I was given access by someone who wanted me to have it.

This would be more accurate, as you had your partner in crime, Hector Johnson with you that night.
Just to make what happened a bit clearer...
There are 5 Mods and 1 Administrator over at BC, which have the authority to access the Mod and Administrative forums.
During the early morning hours of the day in question, I personally witnessed both Hector Johnson and Jon Chown in the Mod forum on the Bonsai Chat Site.
I sent them PM's letting them know that I was aware of it, and I asked them to leave. They didn't respond or leave, so I banned them. This occurred at roughly 4am in the morning and by 8am, Hector found his way back to the site twice and was banned each time. Also I might add, after discovery, Jon did not leave until an hour later.
During this time, one of our members who was on the site with me was asked find out if he could see the mod link to the forum and if so, try to gain access. He couldn't do either. So, apparently there wasn't a glitch.
When the situation was investigated, our Administrator Ryan stated that the 2 members had somehow gained "approved" access to the Administrative areas.
P.S. Ryan didn't want to take the harsh stance and state that the site was hacked, because it was hard to prove exactly what had happened.
