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.

Also if they store a copy of that email they’re effectively storing the password in plaintext even if they e properly made a salty hash brown for the database.

Yep. And their own email system is probably also logging it somewhere. So are various servers along the way to it’s destination.
