How does this happen? Do people simply guess easy passwords? My password for this one includes symbols, numbers and shit.
Yeah, the very weak ones can be broken in seconds. There are websites where you can check how strong your password is such as: https://howsecureismypassword.net/
Try something similar to your password and see what it says, but merely using a dictionary word with a couple of symbols and numbers doesn't make it unbreakable but the longer it is with numerous symbols and numbers will make it much stronger. Ideally it should be some random gibberish with a lot of symbols and numbers and upper and lower case.
Yes, brute force very likely, aided by very bad forum design, in that they allow a user to change the account's registered email address without requiring approval by the old email or at least giving the option to reject the change! If it weren't for that the hack would be fruitless, as the rightful owner could easily change the password back (whereas right now the only defence is to lock the account).

I started this process October 27th. Losing hope on recovering my account. I would pay a small sum to recover it.

Once either Cyrus or Theymos reset the account, please let us know how the notification process work... Do they reply to our PM or do we periodically check the email address we asked them to reset to? Thank you for the clarification!
You will receive a PM that simply says: UNLOCKED. That's all I received when
mine was unlocked last month. My account wasn't hacked so, it could also contain
simple instruction for keeping your account safe.
Was that a PM in the new account?
Yes, it's in the new account, in which you have sent the signed message.

Hope a mod will have a look
Sorry - that was a typo, and is fixed now.
FWIW, I believe you've satisfied the requirements for recovery, the archived address goes back to 2013, so it's enough proof. Cyrus or theymos are the only two that can recover the account though, and it can take some time. If you have sent messages to both, waiting is your only next step.
Thank you. That's fine, I can wait, I just don't want to lose the account. I assume it remains locked until further action is taken by the mods?

Thanks for verifying the message. Can you please clarify what you mean regarding the date.
2017.11.24 is the day after the hack. I received the email about my account's email address and password change on Thu, Nov 23, 2017 at 5:35 PM (GMT), then followed the instructions to lock my account, created this new account and posted this thread on the same day, and then I tried to find a btc address linked to me. I found the one you posted as well, and signed it on November 24th (the following day).
Is there something else that I need to do?

You will also need proof of your address from an older post before it was hacked.
Put your address into google search. Hope this helps a little. Goodluck!!!

I did lock it and then checked the instructions for recovery (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/recovering-hacked-accounts-or-accounts-with-lost-passwords-497545). They require signing a bitcoin address or a PGP key that was previously mentioned and therefore is known to belong to the account holder.
The problem is I haven't publicly disclosed either so according to these instructions I can't recover my account.
I find this hard to believe.

Seems a lot of people got their account stolen :|
Mine was stolen yesterday, only just two weeks to become a full member.
I already reported mine to admin but I'm stupid, I submitted the wrong data.
Now I have to wait for another 24 hour to be able to send another pm.
