    Default IMPORTANT SECURITY Info

    Recently we have had a spate of members registrations being hacked and posting adult sites, scams, and other ne'er-do-well stuff on WWF and MWF.

    So far all of the perpetrators have all been caught and banned without the original registered member being affected.
    Most of their garbage never showed on the forums.

    With almost 20 Billion passwords exposed over the last decade, there may be duplicates of members password out there that have been used on multiple websites that are now compromised.

    So... I strongly suggest that all members need to update your passwords to avoid being hacked.

    The password should be 24-32 characters long and made up of a random combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. EG: jOe^bLog5$b!LL!ng5worTh#94o5

    The password should not be used on any other website.

    As added protection it might also be wise to change the email address in your Profile to a different one if you have one. Not mandatory but may be an extra bit of protection for your personal safety from these lowlife mongrels.
    Cheers - Neil

    Default UPDATED Info

    It is not mandatory to change PW however if you do change it you may have trouble getting back onto the forums as the Auto Conformation email isn't working. If you have a problem after changing email please use the Contact Us link found at the bottom of all pages/screens. You may not get an immediate response but I will fix the problem for you ASAP.

    Leave a brief message saying you can't log in or whatever.

    Cheers - Neil
