Attention All Users
 
Some of you may have noticed problems with the site yesterday as there were items that did not conform to our PG rating. It seems we were targeted by a group that didn't like pirates. We have attempted to fix everything, but we do feel it would be a good idea to change your forum password. If you happen to use that same password on other sites, you might also want to change it everywhere. Please remember to use words that are not found in the dictionary and numbers as well as letters to make your new password safer.

We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but as always we are determined to provide a safe and fun experience for all users.

Thanks for continuing to sail with us!

So ..... was it a hack, DNS attack, or just a forum flood with non-PG postings?

It was an evil bunny attack! Long, pointy ears with nasty nibbling fangs going <gnash-gnash>! Terrible to behold! That's one rotten rabbit!

So do they know our passwords or not?
Because TTC went down too.
Also um....
My password isn't in the dictonary and of course is hard to find out so should I be safe and not need to change it?

Gabyta 08-29-2008 01:25 AM

good one evil bunny... hmmmm

MacIronhawk 08-29-2008 01:56 PM

Wait this was a joke?
Now you made me feel like a <not smart person> because I thought you were serious.

Wait are you serious?
Some people are joking around and others like wow.....
How do I change my password?
And did that really happen?

Is my password safe or do some strangers know it?

sammyh 08-30-2008 09:14 PM

As tep and LadyF said, summed up simply, we did have some issues and it would probably be in your best interests to change your password. For info on why and how to change your password, follow this link.

Mr.LoveLocket 08-30-2008 10:33 PM
