No, Crashdown is completely unofficial and fan-run.

Who runs the Crashdown site?
Lena is running the website.

Crashdown was created by Squanto, Goldenboy and NetRanger, and was maintained by a team of approximately 20-25 people. For a list of news authors, please check the authors page which is located here.

Can I use the pictures from this site on my own web site?
If you would like to use pictures from Crashdown on your own web site, please ask first. If you are given permission to use a picture from Crashdown, you must upload the picture to your own server (to reduce our bandwidth costs) and provide a credit and a link to Crashdown on your site. Be sure the credit is clearly visible in the location where the picture is being used, NOT on a separate "credits" page. For example, if you are using screen captures for a particular episode or pictures of a particular actor, please include the Crashdown credit somewhere on the thumbnail page for that episode or actor.

Can I use Christina's candid cast photos on my own web site?
No. Christina Radish is a professional photographer whose photos appear on Crashdown by special/exclusive arrangement. She owns the copyright on these photos and has specifically asked that they not appear elsewhere. This means you may not post them on your website, email them to friends, or send them out on egroups or mailing lists. If you would like to share Christina's work with your friends, please provide them with a link to her gallery here on Crashdown: Candid Cast Photos by Christina Radish

Can I use any of the other material from Crashdown on my website?
Please ask first. Most of the material that appears on Crashdown has been contributed by individuals who have spent a great deal of time and effort creating it and their work MUST be credited to them. You can usually determine who contributed material by checking the top of the page, where the creator's name will appear as an email link. Please obtain permission from them before using their material on any other sites. If for some reason you cannot determine who the contributor is, or their e-mail is not working, please contact one of the Crashdown webmasters to obtain permission.
