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.
Edited to add the /s for clarity, because the NIST recommended remediation in 2023 for emailing a password is “burn everything down and pretend the organization never existed”. /s
Again, adding that /s since that’s not actually what NIST says to do, and I am, at best, paraphrasing.

The one they were sending at registration was prior to hashing. It would not be reversible afterwards.
That’s technically less terrible, then.
Good for them. /s
