Larion Studios forum stores your passwords in unhashed plaintext. Don’t use a password there that you’ve used anywhere else.

This thread is frustrating. Everyone seems more interested in nitpicking the specifics of what OP is saying and are ignoring that a forum sends you your password (not an automatically generated one) in an email on registration.

    OP of that thread was talking about how (they think) the password was stored in plain text instead of this “tree” you’re talking about. The discussion on that was not a nitpick.

      The forest is bad practice with passwords, since you get an email of your password after setting it.

      The tree is OP not knowing how to describe why it’s bad and saying the wrong reason why.

        I mean, there were a lot of forests in that thread. Like how it was an old screenshot and they don’t do those emails anymore. Or you shouldn’t re-use passwords anyways. I don’t blame people for missing 1 or 2 forests.
