I didn't get any nasty messages about other sites that I visit getting penetrated, but then including this forum, I only frequent three. This is the only one I use for games, so it was a quiet week for me!
There is that whole Steam area, you know.You forced me to hang out at that cesspool for a few days, and now I feel dirty.

I had to make a new account because that email i had used when I registered (aeons ago) is no longer active.
Obviously, no one should be using their most secure passwords on a small site like RPGWatch
To me, this sounds like the usual argument : What private people own is not worthy to be protected; instead, only property of corporations and firms are worthy to be protected.
This created a social inbalance in what can be easily dismissed, it can be shown, for example, in Windows 10 Home users being the de facto beta testers for corporate versions of Windows 10 updates.
I've often seen this : Firms develop sophisticated protection only for where money can be receibved from; private home users don't have money, so they don't need any sophisticated protection. They don't even have anything worthy to protect, compared to the immense property of mega-corporations.
The social message of this is clear : We, the home users, are expendable; corporations are not.
And, by the way, how do I hash my own home passwords ? How do I salt them ?
See ? There's no implementation for that for home users. *facepalm*
By the way, I invent new passwords every time I need them, using my creativity I developed as someone who makes new RPG character names every now and then.
You might want to consider verifying your opinion before jumping to conclusions, otherwise you look a bit stupid.Since there is the suggestion that user login details may have been accessed, it strongly implies that this site wasn't hashing its user's passwords. I believe this is completely unacceptable and amateurish. Password hashing is a basic security feature, and should be implemented as an absolute minimum. I find it extremely disappointing that any site would not bother not to do this properly.
I apologise. I was obviously making an assumption as to the lack of password hashing on this site. Thanks for clarifying the situation, and for the reasons behind asking us to reset our passwords. It sounds like you've acted very reasonably in this situation, and I'm sorry if my original post sounded a bit harsh.You might want to consider verifying your opinion before jumping to conclusions, otherwise you look a bit stupid.
Of course the passwords are hashed, so if they actually retrieved the passwords they only get hashed passwords.
