All l33t/ub3r accounts registered from before this dump (Feb 19) have had their passwords changed. You will need to do a password reset email.

All secret words are now deleted and for now the plugin is deactivated.

If you do not have access to the email you had on file please use contact form and provide your profile link and an email you have access to. I will check IP to ensure only those with previous account access get changed.

If you are not getting a password reset email please triple check your spam filters. If you have a hotmail, gmail, msn, or yahoo email those work best and our emails do go to these providers uninterrupted. They might be in a filter but overall the emails do arrive. I can check logs to ensure an email is sent and completed.

All new passwords must be 10 characters long and include uppercase, lowerscase, and numbers. Example is "As89Ds04bC". Create strong secure passwords and do not use them on any other site. If possible write the password down somewhere secure.

Now please be patient. This can take days. There are thousands of members in the same predicament and I will work as quickly as I can to fix this for everyone. While I know this is a frustrating moment for you. It's also necessary to secure your account and ensure the safety of our community.

I sincerely apologize to all involved.

Are you fucking kidding me?!

"The password you entered is of invalid length. Please enter a password between 10 and 30 characters."

Like seriously? Want me to write a fucking phrase? LOL. 8 would be enough. I don't have a 10 char pw -.-

Mate, I am not sure Shit is even secured nowadays.

[chimpy]

I registered back in 2010, my password hasn't been changed ?

[Interceptor|]

I'd probably have shot myself under this kind of stress.
Good work prompting us to take security steps rather than staying silent... yeah I'm talking to you Sony.

This should increase security quite a bit.
I'm waiting for someone to use the password "As89Ds04bC".

FUCK YOU.
Use this password as it suits you: "IAMAFUCKINGLAZYGAY".
10+ chars ==> Problem solved.

On-topic: Omni, check the thread in my sig. It should help the members.
