Announcement: update on findings regarding spammed PMs - Darth-Apple - April 28th, 2014
Hello everyone. As some of you may have noticed, the latest member registered here (fatoubaby1) has sent provocative, spam-like private messages to several users on the forums. It is unclear whether this user is a bot or if it is real user, but in any case, the account has permanently been banned. You can safely ignore these messages.
Also, regarding a previous announcement, it turns out I was reading some of the exported database data incorrectly, and there is no evidence that the forum or that accounts were hacked. However, as I'm sure many of you all have already heard, the heartbleed bug has left a lot of passwords exploited on a significant portion of the internet's more popular websites. If you use the same password here that you use on other websites, it may be recommended to change your password anyway as a safety precaution.
