do you log off of TTC when you leave the pc or do you have it set so that you are automatically logged in when you open TTC? If so, anyone in your household has access to the Happy Hour forum via your User ID. Could be the info you see appearing in KOATTA that seems to be from ATTA is being posted by the child of an ATTA member who is using mom's or dad's login to read Happy Hour Lounge info. Same logic applies to YM. Yahoo gives an option of staying logged in up to 2 weeks at a time so you don't have to log in again each time. There may be parents who are using this, so their child has access to the chat via the parents' ID. Then we also have to accept that some of us have very bright children who very likely know our "secret" passwords in spite of our efforts to keep them secret - they are sharper than we think they are!

I think that there is no 100% full-proof way to childproof this site, just as there is no 100% fullproof way to childproof the internet. But it seems to me that the leaders of this group have gone to extraordinary lengths to restrict access as much as possible access by minors.
