Other than our FAQ, no. (We're still looking for someone to be the official fan site, and can provide various information to whoever wants to start one.)

Said report is over 200 years later, once the land had filled up and they'd lived under Sartar's kingdom.

If it were bigger, it would *really* hurt you to lose them.

It's always possible there's a bug, but the horse theft won't repeat. I'd guess you had two different games (or restarted from a save position and had it happen each time). We've at least tried to keep repeatable events from happening within too few years of each other.
Updates definitely need more sales -- luckily, today was our best day yet for web orders, so maybe the reviews and newsgroup comments are starting to help. (And feel free to ask your local Electronics Boutique to carry the game -- we're still trying to get into software retail stores.)

That's really weird -- were you using the 1.1 update? There were a few rare circumstances that could result in an unwinnable game, but that's not one we're aware of.
