We have identified a potential breach of our forum user database that occurred Friday morning, Aug 12. We have reset your forum password as a precaution, in the event that any encrypted forum user passwords were compromised.

When you next try to login to the forums, your old password will not work. Click the I've forgotten my password link above, underneath the login boxes, and follow the steps to setup a new password for your account.

We recommend you do not use your old password or a password you have used for other sites. Further, if your old forum password was used for any other online purposes, we recommend changing the password on those accounts as well.

You will also receive an email with this information, sent to the email address you registered with on the forums.


Edit:

falchya: If you are unable to access the email you registered with, make a new account and PM Gstaff to have the email for your account changed. Please make sure that the email address you want to use isn't associated with an existing account.

I think you guys handled it well, deleting all passwords and stuff. :tops:

[Alex Blacke]

On the bright side, even though the avatars are gone, the Bethesda Softworks logo under your name is still working!

[Sammie LM]

how can we be certain that is really a member of GStaff? how do we know that we arent all be routed to servers in the phillipines right now with 10 year olds being paid $1 a day to mess with us?

[Rebecca Clare Smith]

Once? That's just damn unfortunate.

But twice in about as many months? Doesn't exactly fill us with confidence. Will anything be done about forum security to stop it happening a third time?

[LittleMiss]

did they get our email addresses?

[Chase McAbee]

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, the people who keep this website/forum running for us to enjoy, for being on the ball enough to not have this incident be a repeat of the PlayStation network going down for, what was it a month? Two months? Anyhoo, obviously someone's paying attention, and I am very grateful for that. Who knows what kind of chaos would ensue if there was a drunken monkey passed out at the wheel.

And as for the person(s) responsible for this: Read my signature.

I just realized... how did Gstaff join in 1970?

A member of Gstaff? Gstaff is a person. You know. Matt Grandstaff.

[Naomi Lastname]

I [censored] hate hackers too........................ and I want my Avatar back

[Isabel Ruiz]

[Star Dunkels Macmillan]

TIME PARADOX.

[Sandeep Khatkar]

So, like I said before, never do that again..

As for contacting GStaff, no, you guys inconvenienced me, I've told you about it, contact me, otherwise, I guess I'm rolling with the new account...

They have more to worry about than looking for guys how got pissed off that they lost their account and are to stubborn to talk to them to get it back but continue to complain anyway.

[Motionsharp]

@TheVileOne

If you are too stubborn to help sort out your problem then stop complaining about it. Being spiteful is pointless as it wasn't Beths fault.

[Anna Beattie]

Are avatars permenantly disabled? Or are they coming back?

[Emma Louise Adams]

Are avatars permenantly disabled? Or are they coming back?

They'll be back...they better be, I have a new av I want to upload.

[Angus Poole]

Are avatars permenantly disabled? Or are they coming back?

I hope so. The forum is more bland without them.........

[Isaac Saetern]

Are avatars permenantly disabled? Or are they coming back?

They'll be back, but we don't know when.

[Lillian Cawfield]

Again? Time to beef up the security guys..

[Jade MacSpade]

Oh god. My eye is gone. I can't see without my eye! I'm blind! Help! Ahhhh!

:ahhh:

[Sabrina garzotto]

Now.... I have a problem. My account was registered with an email that is no longer in service. I had someone message Gstaff about this but he told them that he cannot send the new password to my current email unless I message him.

What Gstaff fails to realize is:

How do I message him if I cannot access my account?

So instead I linked my FB to create a new account to get this sorted with Gstaff.

So Gstaff. Can I have my password now?

ANYONE in the Minecraft Thread/Server can verify me. This attack is quite frustrating. -_-

[~Amy~]

Also, to those who hath hated on the pony avatars... we will return. The scrolls have foretold it.

I'll be back with an even better Pinkie avatar.

[james kite]

I'll be back with an even better Pinkie avatar.

I'll be back with an even better picture hiding most of my face.

[Nina Mccormick]

I'll be back with an even better picture hiding most of my face.

I'll be back with weapons.

[Hella Beast]

So...what happened to our profile images?
