Why must we change our password?

[darkchicken101]

There's never been an announcement about changing your password before, has there? Why the sudden change? Something your not telling us?

There is also a rule about warning others that they have broken rules. Anyway it is for safety precautions for hacker etc.

I wasnt saying anyone was i was asking a qustions

Because not recently has the forum been hacked and had to reload, its safety precautions its not a must but they do recommend it

Also, why have Baving's admin rights been removed? There isn't an announcement on that...

Because all modifacations that had been made near befor the Forum closed has been reset. Like some people not getting VIP, Some people loseing their Rep.. Ect..

What? Baving was made admin on the 17th I think. He announcement is still in the announcements forum, that hasn't disapeared. His personal greeting thing (under his name) didn't change. So how come that has?

Also, Concentric isn't an admin anymore either.

Can we have admin come and clear this up for us?

[Steven.]

For starters. you shouldn't be asking these questions so i doubt they will clear it up for you.

It's done for safety.

Why shouldn't I ask these questions?

The forum goes down, without any explanation as to why.
Then there is an announcement telling us to change our password. There hasn't been one of these before.
Baving and Concentric's admin powers have gone. I am quite sure that at least Concentric's wouldn't have been removed when they did the backup.
We have mods which keep telling us that "it is for our own safety", without telling us what the reason is.

Maybe it's just me being paranoid, but I don't really think this is normal behavior.

[Steven.]

Okey then.

It's for security. yes. someone could of gained access to the daabase. but no one is too sure. (This is all i have Seen.)

The password thing is for safety. it also saves time going through the Usergroups making them change there password on login so they can post.

For all i know. Baving and Concentric didn't need their admin powers whilst the forum was down. so instead of causing more havvoc they removed their powers. that all i myself know. and proberlly all other users.
