2006-11-10 - SECURITY ALERT
Due to a recent minor security problem, we strongly suggest to all users to change their passwords, just for precaution. Users have reported that their passwords have been stolen, after following several links posted in the irc channels. Please try to use a password that is not easy to figure out! Also under any circumstances, DO NOT CLICK on links you receive from strangers, as the most propable thing is that your password will be stolen!

the passwords shoud be encrypted MD5 or something
They are encrypted. But theres are a few ways around that if theses some errors in the scripting.
The site was hacked by the same person thats been trying to hack alot of other sites.
In a way its good though cause he ussually shows the coders what needs to be fixed when we check our logs. ;) So in the long run hes just making the sites more secure.

2006-11-11 - HUGE SECURITY UPDATE
We upgraded the whole login proccess and the way the server handles cookies,in order to maximize your protection.From now on,every time your IP changes you'll have to re-login to site,so don't wonder if that happens form time to time.Few suggestions for that,is that you allow your client to auto-save the login info(so you'll just click"login" with details filled)and for the proxy users,use a proxy that doesn't change IP every 10 seconds or what :P
