hey could one of the admins contact me please, i suspect i have information that might be related to a breach of this site, as i found a huge hash/user list online that had my username, email and hashed password and i have only ever used the username "jasontheblob" on this site.
i wont publish the link here, as i dont want the masses to see it. so please can an administrator message me and ill send them more info + give them a link to where i found it.
thanks alot
Jason is a Guildcast listener, and emailed the information and list to me. He pointed out my own information on the list, and the information was correct. I changed my password immediately, but that's pretty creepy. Dislike!

That might explain the huge increase of spam messages I get on my email addres...
Also changed my password.

A little reminder:
With any site, it is a good idea NOT to double up on and use important email accounts and passwords (i.e. ones used for banking, Guild Wars, etc.); or even one or the other (imho).

I don't think I use the password for this site anywhere else, but changed anyway.
Obvious scams? I must have gotten a dozen a couple of weeks ago, on an address I only used here. Amusing as they were, it still got annoying enough to pull the plug on that sub-account.
It's not the first time that's happened, either. The last time around it was constant phishing emails for a WoW account that I don't even have. The address was the one I used here, and used nowhere else.

Changed my password even tho it's unique to this site. Better safe then sorry.

Out of curiosity, could I post a bunch of spammy messages to raise my level and then be all "omg I was hacked"?
Sigh changing password.
