the forum was hacked and some data was leaked. this includes hashed/salted passwords (they're not in plaintext, but could be crackable), email addresses, and private messages. really sorry this happened, working on securing everything now.

any site where you use the same password as this one should be changed immediately to be secure. i'll post updates as i keep working on things.

edit: trimming comments and locking since the thread's just getting chatty and distracting.
