Email from "forum-master@twoplustwo.com" -- "Please Change Your Two Plus Two Password" - Page 6 - About the Forums

I'm glad this email went out and this post went up. While not as laughably simple as some of the examples provided, my password was easy enough for someone typing in random words (e.g. entering the dictionary). Now it would take a bit more know-how, or know-me.

Oh, and no... I didn't get hacked. So the stupidity of many of my recent posts is, in fact, a fine representation of my actual self.

Dear Admins,

I have gotten some infractions in the past, and clearly, it was by someone who had hacked my acct. Please remove all infractions. Thanks!

The joke's on them! I play poker as well as I make friends in ATF, so they're all broke anyway.

I mean, bots will try to login every day. Why the big emergency?

No, nothing has been leaked.

Multiple people have complained about receiving emails in the last couple of days about numerous failed login attempts on their accounts. Also, we've had several cases of previously dormant accounts scamming or attempting to scam people in transfer threads and other places. We've been able to log in to some of those accounts with a couple guesses like "password" and "123456".

Nothing remotely close to this widespread a problem has occurred here before, thus the sense of urgency.

Right... Sounds like I had predictive powers :P
