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.

I see it as a non issue because Larian has a previous post up, in a timeframe window of acceptable lack of visible action, about them finding a solution to that problem.
If nothing has been announced in a month or so, then it starts becoming a problem again.

Sending passwords in plaintext in emails is not an imaginary problem.
Nope, but using that to claim that they’re storing the passwords in plain text is.
