well you can check my signature line now. If you go to that link in it to my external site that has my btc address signed via gpg. So if any more loan requests come from me only send it to that address or to an address signed by me.

That's no use. If someone can post under your name, they can change your signature. We should ask theymos what's going on here.

Would be a good idea to sticky something.

If an account is hacked, any of the info or settings could be changed so I'll definitely tread a little more carefully in the future. Lesson learned, thankfully a small one.

Something odd going on - obviously someone or ones is targeting lending.  Confirmations by pm's recommended.  Nice that you were able to cover the debt, but yu shouldn't have had to.

How does Pm's help ?  If the fake user answers the pm its the same shit...
unless you know some secret information of his ( grandmas maiden name...) and ask him

I guess the  5% a day interest should have been a big warning...

Even a five-minute delay could prevent the kind of fraud which occurred in the OP. Most users have PMs sent to their email account. If user is online, and is notified of emails, it's possible he could intervene to prevent similar fraud. It's unlikely to help, but it's a very easy way to help prevent similar problems.

Though, I'm curious as to how the OP had his account hijacked.

ETA: Also worth noting many loans aren't funded for a good few hours, sometimes days. Real owner may have control of the account again, perhaps've contacted the admin. However, it appears this situation was due to poor password management.... we're over-reacting a bit, I think, unless something like what happened in OP becomes more frequent.
