Hello,

Users are now required to change their passwords every 365 days (I believe the technical term for this is a "year"). This is for your own protection; good account security involves regularly changing your password. If you receive a notice that your password has expired, please change it to something new.

On a related note, if you received a notice saying your account was logged into from Germany and you got banned, your account was compromised and banned for its own security (The related breach has since been neutralized). Please follow the instructions and contact [email protected] to recover your account (And again, please change to a different password). See this thread for additional information.

Thanks,
The Management

Any further posts that appear to be flaunting how they have shit password security and how they're awesome for not getting hacked even with such idiotic practices will get their accounts suspended because there's a high probability that your accounts will end up getting hacked and generate extra work for us anyways.

Seriously, it's not a positive thing to be retarded at keeping your account safe.

Read the entire thread before posting.

I will ban anyone who obviously didn't. Thank you.

Wow I love it but it might get annoying in a year... maybe I don't have any other passwords?

The point is to get you to change your passwords yourself. Regular password changing is necessary to prevent hacks and account compromising.


After 1 year, if you haven't done it yet, you will be reminded. It's as simple as that.

If you don't have any other passwords, get some.

What happends if you get a warning and don't listen?

then you cant view the forum until you change your password

You can still just "change" the password to the same as the old password, but of course that wouldn't be very effective...
What do you suggest, should the new password be completely different to the old one or do small changes do the trick already?

Then you're very stupid.

Oh, and passwords should be something like.

Because who the hell is gonna guess something like that.

Sounds like a good idea, the banlist is getting packed with tons on compromised accounts.

Practically speaking, if you change your password to your old password and then get hacked, it goes to show that you're an idiot.
