Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a
password there that you’ve used anywhere else.
This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.
A sad truth and sadly not uncommon.
Some people seem to get a kick out of showing of how much "smarter" they are than the next person, side tracking the whole conversation in the process.
I really don't get why someone would think that's called for.
