    *Sees that the passwords were compromised*
    *Points to RainbowChin*
  12. I'll be very honest: disappointed. I could not believe that a senior staff member would actually do something so trivially stupid (sorry, just being honest) as to actually using a shared password like that. Even though it's a very small effort not to.

    I was never scared, also because... you guessed it. Even in the impossible event that a 3rd party would obtain the password I'm using here then that's all they'd have: my EMC password. You can't use it anywhere else.

    But that does need to be stressed out: software like Xenforo uses a one-way encryption format. Which makes it nearly (not totally) impossible to obtain any passwords. Not even Aikar would be able to do that "just like that".

    So yeah...
    (I was typing this during the brief moment when Aikar had re-activated the forums ;))
  13. Really, I'm sure he's feeling awful enough as is.
